Traditional accounts of ancient pain tend to focus either on philosophical or medical theories of pain or on Christian notions of suffering: this volume moves beyond these approaches to argue that pain in Imperial Greek culture was not a narrow physiological perception but must be understood within its broad personal, social, and emotional context.

Daniel King is the Leventis Lecturer in the Impact of Greek Culture at the University of Exeter. As a cultural historian his work focuses primarily on the Greco-Roman world and he has written both on cultural interaction in the Hellenistic Near-East and on Greek literature and culture under the Roman Empire. He is particularly interested in the intersection between literature and the history of the body, historiography and cultural theory, and the reception of the classical body in the modern world.
