Pity Transformed

Konstan, David

This, the only study of pity in the ancient Greek and Roman worlds, explores how pity was understood and expressed in various different contexts: in law, war, in religion, in relation to emotion, self-pity and love. The introduction wrestles with defining pity, whether as an emotion or not, whereas the rest of the chapters adopt particular themes. 181p (Duckworth 2001)
