Emotion and Persuasion in Classical Antiquity
Appeal to emotion is a key technique of persuasion, ranked by Aristotle alongside logical reasoning and arguments from character. Although ancient philosophical discussions of it have been much researched, exploration of its practical use has focused largely on explicit appeals to a handful of emotions (anger, hatred, envy, pity) in 5th–4th century BCE Athenian courtroom oratory. This volume expands horizons: from an opening section focusing on s…
Sexual Jealousy in Classical Athens
The script approach given trial runs in the previous chapters is unleashed here in lengthy analyses of Medea’s, Deianeira’s, and Hermione’s emotions at their husband’s relationships with other women. The chapter argues in a nuanced way for sexual jealousy to be considered a separate motivation alongside pride and rage in Medea. The emotion is more straightforwardly the motivation for actual or attempted murder in Trachiniae and Andromache. The th…
Onstage Phthonos in Old Comedy and Tragedy
This chapter uses the scripts identified in Chapters 2 and 3 to examine onstage phthonos scenarios in Old Comedy (Aristophanes) and tragedy (Sophocles and Euripides). Five plays are examined, in which phthonos ranges from pervading the entire play, to affecting one brief but momentous action. In Knights, the other slaves’ envy for Paphlagon and his jealousy of his position are pervasive. In Assemblywomen, phthonos is most apparent when the old cr…
Audience Phthonos in Old Comedy
The chapter opens with an analysis of the emotional dynamics behind the text-audience relationship in Old Comedy. Plato’s suggestion (in the Philebus) that we go to the comic theatre to see our friends suffering misfortunes, and this is phthonos, is discussed, and this compared with Aristotle’s epichairekakia (Schadenfreude/spite). There is some similarity to the ‘reversal’ associated with the ‘carnival’ approach to comedy, where powerful individ…

Envy and Jealousy in Classical Athens
Emotions differ between cultures, especially in their eliciting conditions, social \nacceptability, forms of expression, and co-extent of terminology. This thesis examines the \npsychological sensation and social expression of envy and jealousy in Classical Athens. \nPrevious scholarship on envy and jealousy (Walcot 1978, Konstan and Rutter 2003) has \nprimarily taken a lexical approach, focusing on usage of the Greek words phthonos (envy, \nbegr…
Erôs in Ancient Greece
This book, arising out of a conference at University College London in 2009, examines erôs as an emotion in ancient Greek culture. It considers the phenomenology, psychology, and physiology of erôs; its associated language, metaphors, and imagery; the overlap of erôs with other emotions (jealousy, madness, philia, pothos); its role in political society; and the relationship between the human emotion and Eros the god. These topics build on recent …
Chapter Ten. Pathos Phaulon
This chapter shows how Aristotle argues in the Rhetoric that bad ( phaulos ) character is a crucial criterion for distinguishing phthonos within the group of emotions relating to others? good or bad fortune. This distinction survives the intellectual shift to the ?doctrine of the mean? in the Nichomachean Ethics , but there phthonos becomes a paradigm of badness ( kakos ) in which an ethically uneducated person feels excessively the otherwise acc…
