ISBN10: 0190887877, ISBN13: 9780190887872, [publisher: Oxford University Press] Hardcover Oxford University Press, 2018. 232p. Hardback. "Konstan (classics, New York Univ.) provides original insights into love in ancient times. Though brief, the book challenges traditional belief on ancient love and theoretical compensation in a concise and clear way. Relationships today are perceived quite differently than they were by the ancient Romans and Greeks, for whom love was much more subtle. These subtleties are the backbone of Konstan's study. Highly Recommended." (CHOICE). (Publisher's information). Condition: New [Aalten, Netherlands] [Publication Year: 2018]

This book is about love in the classical world - not erotic passion but the kind of love that binds together intimate members of a family and very close friends, but which may also be extended to include a wider range of individuals for whom we care deeply. The book begins with a discussion of friendship, focusing particularly on the Greek notion that in friendship the identities of two friends all but merge into one. The book then turns to the question ofloyalty, and why loyalty seems not to have achieved the status of a virtue in classical thought. The next chapter considers love in relation to generosity, favors, and gratitude. There follows a discussionof grief, which is a symptom of the loss of a loved one. The final chapter treats love as the basis of civic solidarity. In each case, love is at the basis of the relations under examination. In this, the book departs from the more usual analysis of these affective ties in terms of reciprocity, which in one way or another involves an expectation of return. Seen this way, such relationships seem to have a selfish or at least self-centered dimension, as distinct from truly other-regardingattitudes.
