Experiencing Pain in Imperial Greek Culture

Auteur: King, Daniel (Leventis Lecturer in the Impact of Greek Culture, Leventis Lecturer in the Impact of Greek Culture, University of Exeter)
Editeur: Oxford University Press
Traditional accounts of ancient pain tend to focus either on philosophical or medical theories of pain or on Christian notions of suffering: this volume moves beyond these approaches to argue that pain in Imperial Greek culture was not a narrow physiological perception but must be understood within its broad personal, social, and emotional context.
