Lukians Essay "Über Trauer" greift ethische und religiöse Fragen auf, die zu jeder Zeit für Menschen wichtig waren: Wie soll ein Mensch mit dem Schmerz umgehen, wenn ihm eine nahestehende Person durch den Tod entrissen wird? Wie soll man mit dem Verlust fertig werden? Wie soll man sich die condicio des Toten vorstellen? Landläufige Vorstellungen, das führt Lukian vor, nährten die Furcht, dass es dem Toten schlecht ergehe, und steigerten dadurch auch die eigene Todesangst. Dem setzt der sprechend eingeführte Tote den (kynisch konnotierten) Nachweis entgegen, dass es dem Toten eigentlich besser geht, da er keinerlei Bedürfnisse mehr hat. So ist bei aller satirischen Einkleidung der in dieser Schrift ausgeführten Gedanken doch auch die Überzeugung zu spüren, dass der Mensch besser dran ist, wenn es ihm gelingt, durch rationale Überlegung seine Todesfurcht zu überwinden oder wenigstens zu reduzieren.

Considering the ubiquity of rhetorical training in antiquity, the volume starts from the premise that every first-person statement in ancient literature is in some way rhetorically modelled and aesthetically shaped. Focusing on different types of Greek and Latin literature, poetry and prose, from the Archaic Age to Late Antiquity, the contributions analyse the use and modelling of gender-specific elements in different types of first-person speech, be it that the speaker is (represented as) the author of a work, be it that they feature as characters in the work, narrating their own story or that of others. In doing so, they do not only offer new insights into the rhetorical strategies and literary techniques used to construct a gendered ‘I’ in ancient literature. They also address the form and function of first-person discourse in classical literature in general, touching on fields of research that have increasingly come into focus in recent years, such as authorship studies, studies concerning the ancient notion(s) of the literary persona, as well as a historical narratology that discusses concepts such as the narrator or the literary character in ancient literary theory and practice.
