Around 567 CE, the poet and historian Agathias of Myrina published his Cycle, an anthology of epigrams by contemporary poets who wrote about what mattered to elite men in sixth- century Constantinople: harlots and dancing girls, chariot races in the hippodrome, and the luxuries of the Roman bath. But amid this banquet of worldly delights, ascetic Christianity - pervasive in early Byzantine thought - made sensual pleasure both more complicated and more compelling. In this book, Steven D. Smith explores how this miniature classical genre gave expression to lurid fantasies of domination and submission, constraint and release, and the relationship between masculine and feminine. The volume will appeal to literary scholars and historians interested in Greek poetry, late antiquity, Byzantine studies, early Christianity, gender, and sexuality"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 247-272) and index. 505 0 $a Food and wine -- An erotic geography -- Urban pleasures -- Phallic creatures -- Classical women -- Thieving Aphrodite. 648 7 $a 527-565 $2 fast 650 0 $a Epigrams, Greek $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008119344 650 0 $a Epigrams, Byzantine $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literature and society $z Byzantine Empire. 650 7 $a Epigrams, Byzantine. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00914139 650 7 $a Epigrams, Greek. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00914148 650 7 $a Literature and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000096 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 651 0 $a Byzantine Empire $x Social life and customs. 651 0 $a Byzantine Empire $x History $y Justinian I, 527-565. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85018487 651 7 $a Byzantine Empire. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01209292 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 830 0 $a Greek culture in the Roman world. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2005068643 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020022558.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0977B5080CF611EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
