"Pity Transformed" is an examination of how pity was imagined and expressed in classical antiquity. It pays particular attention to the ways in which the pity of the Greeks and Romans differed from modern ideas. Among the topics investigated in this study are the appeal to pity in courts of law and the connection between pity and desert; the relation between pity and love or intimacy; self-pity; the role of pity in war and its relation to human rights and human dignity; divine pity from paganism to Christianity; and why pity was considered an emotion. This book will lead readers to ponder how the Greeks and Romans were both like and unlike us in this fundamental area of cultural sensibility.

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Somewhat rubbed, slight staining on edge and throughout the text probably due to printing issue but not affecting readability, otherwise very good. / Etwas berieben, leichte Anschmutzung auf Schnitt und im Text wahrscheinlich aufgrund des Buchdrucks aber das beeinflusst die Lesbarkeit nicht, sonst sehr gut. - Pity Transformed is the only full-length discussion of pity in the classical world in any language. In this fascinating examination of how pity was imagined and expressed in classical antiquity, David Konstan pays particular attention to the ways in which the pity of the Greeks and Romans differed from modern ideas.

This stimulating book will lead readers to ponder how the Greeks and Romans were both like and unlike us in this fundamental area of cultural sensibility. - David Konstan is John Rowe Workman Distinguished Professor of Classics and Professor of Comparative Literature at Brown University.
