The book is intended to provoke discussion of a wide range of problems in the cultural history of antiquity. It addresses both the physicality of eros and illness, and physiological and philosophical doctrines, especially hedonism and anti-hedonism in their various forms. Fine points of terminology (Greek is predictably rich in this area) receive careful attention. Authors in question run from Homer to (among others) the Hippocratics, Plato, Aristotle, Lucretius, Seneca, Plutarch, Galen and the Aristotle-commentator Alexander of Aphrodisias. 650 0 $a Pain in literature. 650 0 $a Pleasure in literature. 650 0 $a Classical literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Philosophy, Ancient. 700 1 $a Harris, William V. $q (William Vernon), $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Pain and pleasure in classical times $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill, 2018 $z 9789004379503 $w (DLC) 2018041918 830 0 $a Columbia studies in the classical tradition ; $v v. 44. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190806074348.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5ADE25EAF79311E8BA923B1497128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
