Medical Understandings of Emotions in Antiquity
Conference
Crete/Patras Ancient Emotions II Conference
“Medical Understandings of Emotions in Antiquity”
University of Patras, December 8-10, 2017
The conference ‘Medical Understanding of Emotions in Antiquity’ could be of interest to H-madness readers who wish to explore the study of emotions in the ancient Graeco-Roman world, especially with reference to medicine and the medical approach to the experience of emotional disturbance. This meeting addresses both the interpretation of strong emotions offered by the ancient physicians, such as anger; and the emotions associated with illness, recovery and the condition of being a patient (such as fear, hope and shame).
The conference has no registration fee, but, if you wish to attend, please contact jointly George Kazantzidis (gkazantzidis@upatras.gr) and Dimos Spatharas (spatharas@gmail.com).
