Additional Publication Information

One of the most exciting developments in recent classics research has been in the field of ancient emotions and representations of the mind and self. Within this rich field of inquiry, University College London and the Institute of Classical Studies are hosting an international conference on the topic of "Erôs in ancient Greece". The conference will offer papers on a wide range of topics related to Erôs as pathos or epithymia, including iconography associated with erotic passions, Erôs as literary motif, and philosophical approaches. The chronological span will be from the Archaic period to the Second Sophistic, including reception.
