Anger, shame, fear, pity, gratitude, hatred and love: emotions are an essential dimension of human experience. The course explores different ways in which emotions are discussed, conceptualized, and represented in literature and philosophy in the ancient Graeco-Roman world, with occasional forays into the territory of the visual arts. Readings in English translation include major authors in the Western canon (Homer, Sophocles, Euripides, Thucydides, Plato, Lucretius, Seneca, among others)
