This collection of 17 essays by 15 authors features the emotion of disgust as one cutting edge of the study of Greek and Roman antiquity. Individual contributions explore a wide range of topics including the semantics of the emotion both in Greek and Latin literature, its social uses as a means of marginalising individuals or groups of individuals, its role in determining aesthetic judgments and its potentialities as an elicitor of aesthetic pleasure.
