Arising out of a conference on 'Erôs in Ancient Greece', the articles in this volume share a historicizing approach to the conventions and expectations of erôs in the context of the polis, in the Archaic and Classical periods of ancient Greece. The articles focus on (post-Homeric) Archaic and Classical poetic genres - namely lyric poetry, tragedy, and comedy - and some philosophical texts by Plato, Xenophon, and Aristotle. They pursue a variety of issues, including: the connection between homosexual erôs and politics; sexual practices that fell outside societal norms (aristocratic homosexuality, chastity); the roles of sôphrosynê (self-control) and akrasia (incontinence) in erotic relationships; and the connection between erôs and other socially important emotions such as charis, philia, and storgê. The exploration of such issues from a variety of standpoints, and through a range of texts, allows us to place erôs as an emotion in its socio-political context.

"Gli Erotopaignia sono la più importante raccolta di componimenti di argomento amoroso di epoca bizantina. Conosciuto anche con il titolo di Giochi d'amore, questo canzoniere del XIV sec., scritto in greco demotico, si distingue per l'immediatezza della resa poetica, per la sua presa diretta sul cuore. Su tutto protagonista è l'amore che sempre, malgrado difficoltà e incomprensioni, riuscirà ad affermarsi. Il tema del 'gioco', presente già nel titolo, fornisce la chiave di lettura più corretta per accostarsi con un giusto senso di levità e grazia alla dinamica eterna del discorso amoroso."--P. [4] of cover.

Largely neglected for the four centuries after his death, the fifteenth century Italian artist Piero della Francesca is now seen to embody the fullest expression of the Renaissance perspective painter, raising him to an artistic stature comparable with that of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. But who was Piero, and how did he become the person and artist that he was? Until now, in spite of the great interest in his work, these questions have remained largely unanswered. Piero della Francesca: Artist and Man puts that situation right, integrating the story of Piero's artistic and mathematica
