Since the publication of Foucault's History of Sexuality the volume
of Classical scholarship on gender, sexuality and the body has
steadily increased in tandem with the expansion of these topics in
other areas of the Humanities. This volume will provide readers
with a substantial selection of primary sources documenting
sexualities, sexual behaviors, and perceptions of sex, sexuality,
gender, and the body among people in the ancient Greco-Roman world.
The coverage will begin with Homer in the eighth century BCE and
will focus most heavily on Classical Greece and Rome from the
Republic to the early Empire, though sources reflecting societal
changes in later antiquity and a selection of Jewish and Christian
readings will also be included. Authors will include Hippocrates,
Plato, Aristotle, Galen, Ovid and Plutarch, with each chapter
including one or two substantial 'focal' readings. The materials
will include poetry, history, oratory, medical and philosophical
writings, letters, and inscriptions, both public and private.
