Report

"This volume will be of use to many scholars and teachers across a variety of fields . . . Overall, this is a useful volume with much to recommend it to anyone who needs a solid introduction to any aspect of sexuality in ancient Greece or Rome." ( Religious Studies Review , 4 June 2015)

"Companion to Greek and Roman Sexualitiesprovides a thought-provoking overview of an important subject area, it is a fascinating collection of chapters offering a tantalizing taste of a scholarship that is ripe for debate and will continue to encourage scholars to develop their research methods, bringing the cultures of Greece and Rome together for comparison and criticism and dissection and discussion." ( Reference Reviews , 1 December 2014

"Thanks to its wide scope, the collection of papers is guaranteed to appeal to beginners in the field of ancient sexuality as well as to specialists, who will find many details which are new to them. The Companion should also prove useful in teaching courses on issues of ancient sex and sexuality, since it assembles up-to-date, authoritative, well-written treatments of key aspects by noted experts. Its particular value lies in the diversity of the evidence presented and the breadth of the questions asked of the sources." ( Bryn Mawr Classical Review , September 2014)
