This book - the only history of friendship in classical antiquity
that exists in English - examines the nature of friendship in
Greece and Rome from Homer to the Christian Roman Empire of the
fourth century AD. Friendship is conceived of as a voluntary and
loving relationship, but there are major shifts in emphasis from
the bonding among warriors in epic poetry, to the egalitarian ties
characteristic of the Athenian democracy, the status-conscious
connections in Rome and the Hellenistic kingdoms, and the
commitment to a universal love among Christian writers. Friendship
is also examined in relation to erotic love and comradeship, for
its role in politics and economic life, in philosophical and
religious communities, in connection with patronage and the private
counsellors of kings, and in respect to women. Its relation to
modern friendship is also fully discussed.
