The articles focus on (post-Homeric) Archaic and Classical poetic genres - namely lyric poetry, tragedy, and comedy - and some philosophical texts by Plato, Xenophon, and Aristotle. They pursue a variety of issues, including: the connection between homosexual erôs and politics; sexual practices that fell outside societal norms (aristocratic homosexuality, chastity); the roles of sôphrosynê (self-control) and akrasia (incontinence) in erotic relationships; and the connection between erôs and other socially important emotions such as charis, philia, and storgê. The exploration of such issues from a variety of standpoints, and through a range of texts, allows us to place erôs as an emotion in its socio-political context.ErÃ´s and the PolisErôs and the PolisLove in literatureEmotions in literatureErōs (The Greek word)Love in literature.Emotions in literature.Erōs (The Greek word)880.9001Sanders Ed760819NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910404133403321Erôs and the Polis3079886UNINA
