The study of emotions has emerged as one of the most dynamic topics of research in Ancient History, Classics, and Archaeology. Studying a variety of sources (historiography, Greek and Latin poetry and oratory, the New Testament, inscriptions, medical authors, Greek vase-painting and sculpture, skeletal remains) and using different methodological approaches, the authors of this volume address a selection of questions related with the study of emotions in Greek and Roman culture: the representation of emotion in literature and art; the arousal of emotion through texts and images; the expression of emotion through metaphor and metonymy; the display of emotions in rituals; intellectual discourse concerning specific emotions (pride, grief, fear); emotional communities; and the importance of emotions in public life, value systems, and social relations.
