    It is often claimed that the kind of love that is variously deemed 'romantic' or 'true' did not exist in antiquity. Yet, ancient literature abounds with stories that seem to adhere precisely to this kind of love. This volume focuses on such literature and the concepts of love it espouses. The volume differs from and challenges much existing classical scholarship which has traditionally privileged the theme of sex over love and prose-genres over those of poetry. By conversely focusing on love and poetry, the present volume freshly explores central poets in ancient literature, such Homer, Sappho, Terence, Catullus, Virgil, Horace and Ovid, alongside less canonized, such as the anonymous poet of The Lament for Bion, Philodemus and Sulpicia. The chapters, which are written by world-leading as well as younger scholars, reveal that Greek and Latin concepts of love seem interconnected, that such love is as relevant for hetero- as homoerotic couples, and that such ideas of love follow the mainstream of poetry throughout antiquity. In addition to the general reader interested in the history of love, this volume is relevant for students and scholars of the ancient world and the poetic tradition.

  • - The Offensive Gospel
    von Stephen Harrison & Richard Huizinga
    17,00 €

    The gospels, in a nutshell, are an offensive paradox where absurd and seemingly contradictory statements reside such as in order to live we have to die to self. The gospels seek to reconcile unmerited grace with the necessity of social engagement simultaneously to people who may themselves not be deserving as well. We are welcomed home like the Prodigal, but we are not off the hook for work we are called to do. The beauty of the gospels is that as eternal as they are in their ability to inspire, that type of inspiration may manifest in as many ways over time as there are interpretations.
