It starts from the premise that the history of classical antiquity as the ancients tell it is the history of men. However, the focus of this volume is the creation, re-creation ami iteration of that male self as presented in language, poetry, drama, philosophical and scientific thought and art: man constructing himself as subject in classical antiquity and beyond. -- This beautifully illustrated volume, which contains a preface by Natalie Kampen, provides a thought-provoking and stimulating insight into the representations of men in classical culture.
