It explores the tensions and relations of gender, sexuality, eroticism and power in reception. Such universal themes dictated plots and characters of myth and drama, but also served to portray historical figures, events and places from Classical history. Their changing reception and reinterpretation across time has created stereotypes, models of virtue or immoral conduct, that blend the original features from the ancient world with a diverse range of visual and performing arts of the modern era.The volume deconstructs these traditions and shows how arts of different periods interlink to form and transmit these images to modern audiences and viewers. Drawing on contributions from across Europe and the United States, a trademark of the book is the inclusive treatment of all the arts beyond the traditional limits of academic disciplines 606 $aCivilization, Ancient, in art$vCongresses 606 $2Classical history / classical civilisation 606 $aSeduction in art$vCongresses 606 $aPower (Social sciences) in art$vCongresses 606 $aCivilization, Ancient, in literature$vCongresses 606 $aSeduction in literature$xCongresses 606 $aPower (Social sciences) in literature$vCongresses 615 0$aCivilization, Ancient, in art 615 0$aSeduction in art 615 0$aPower (Social sciences) in art 615 0$aCivilization, Ancient, in literature 615 0$aSeduction in literature$xCongresses. 615 0$aPower (Social sciences) in literature 676 $a700.1/08 702 $aKnippschild$b Silke 702 $aGarci?a Morcillo$b Marta 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511353303321 996 $aSeduction and power$92548485 997 $aUNINA
