Document Details : Title: Beyond Pity and Fear Subtitle: the Emotions of History Author(s): MARINCOLA, J. Journal: Ancient Society Volume: 33 Date: 2003 Pages: 285-315 DOI: 10.2143/AS.33.0.503603 Abstract : It must be made clear that many scholars have understood and clarified some of the important issues that make up this topic on the the role of emotions in ancient historiography, and the author certainly builds on their work thoughout this paper. He argues, however, more strongy the need to alter the perspective with which we approach the issue of emotions of history, to break free of the bonds of pity and fear, and to examine instead the way in which all the emotions were used by all the ancient historians, and for what purposes they were used. |
