This book is about the theme of innocent suffering in the ancient
world. After an introduction to the topic, and an overview of the
Greek, Roman and biblical traditions, successive chapters deal with
the Iliad (Sarpedon and Hector); Heracles/Hercules; Socrates, the
(Roman) Stoics; the Wisdom of Solomon and finally Early
Christianity, with a concluding reflection. A rare comparative
treatment of a universal theological, philosophical and dramatic
problem in the ancient world no less than the modern.
