Although ancient hope has attracted much scholarly attention in the
past, this is the first book-length discussion of the topic. The
introduction offers a systematic discussion of the semantics of
Greek elpis and Latin spes and addresses the difficult question of
whether hope -ancient and modern- is an emotion. On the other hand,
the 16 contributions deal with specific aspects of hope in Greek
and Latin literature, history and art, including Pindar's poetry,
Greek tragedy, Thucydides, Virgil's epic and Tacitus' Historiae.
The volume also explores from a historical perspective the hopes of
slaves in antiquity, the importance of hope for the enhancement of
stereotypes about the barbarians, and the depiction of hope in
visual culture, providing thereby a useful tool not only for
classicist but also for philosophers, cultural historians and
political scientists.
