Like us, the ancient Greeks and Romans came to know and understand
the world through their senses. Yet sensory experience has rarely
been considered in the study of antiquity and, when the senses are
examined, sight is regularly privileged. 'Synaesthesia and the
Ancient Senses' presents a radical reappraisal of antiquity's
textures, flavours, and aromas, sounds and sights. It offers both a
fresh look at society in the ancient world and an opportunity to
deepen the reading of classical literature. The book will appeal to
readers in classical society and literature, philosophy and
cultural history. All Greek and Latin is translated and technical
matters are explained for the non-specialist. The introduction sets
the ancient senses within the history of aesthetics and the
subsequent essays explores the senses throughout the classical
period and on to the modern reception of classical literature.
