This volume provides an overview of some of the salient aspects of
emotions and their role in life and thought of the Greco-Roman
world, from the beginnings of Greek literature and history to the
height of the Roman Empire. This is a wide remit, dealing with a
wide range of sources in two ancient languages, and in the full
range of contexts that are covered by the format of this series.
The volume's chapters survey the emotional worlds of the ancient
Greeks and Romans from multiple perspectives - philosophical,
scientific, medical, literary, musical, theatrical, religious,
domestic, political, art-historical and historical. All chapters
consider both Greek and Roman evidence, ranging from the Homeric
poems to the Roman Imperial period and making extensive use of both
elite and non-elite texts and documents, including those preserved
on stone, papyrus and similar media, and in other forms of material
culture. The volume is thus fully reflective of the latest research
in the emerging discipline of ancient emotion history.
