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 erôs 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. 410 0$aColumbia Studies in the Classical Tradition$v44. 606 $aPain in literature 606 $aPleasure in literature 606 $aClassical literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPhilosophy, Ancient 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPain in literature. 615 0$aPleasure in literature. 615 0$aClassical literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Ancient. 676 $a880.09 700 $aWilliam V.
