Publisher's Synopsis

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.
