Receptions of antiquity

About this book

The culture of classical antiquity manifests in a number of diverse domains, opening up the field of reception studies to scholars from disciplines other than Classics. This collection of papers illustrates this diversity, uniting as it does original research by scholars from a variety of disciplines: classicists, historians, theater historians, architectural historians, psychologists, archaeologists, and artists, all of whom have treated some aspect of the so-called 'classical tradition' by means of their own individual approaches.
