Summary
In the Classical polis, emotions were not exclusively considered to be disruptive factors jeopardizing the social harmony. They were regarded as indispensable tools to internalize the collective norms and values – and thus ultimately helped strengthening the community. This volume illuminates the pragmatics of emotions in ancient Greek communities of the Classical era from an interdisciplinary perspective.
