Serafim Andreas, Papaioannou Sophia (eds.). Nonverbal Behaviour in Ancient Literature: Athenian Dialogues III

De Gruyter, 2023. — 305 p. — (Trends in Classics - Supplementary Volumes 155).The volume offers an up-to-date and nuanced study of a multi-thematic topic, expressions of which can be found abundantly in ancient Greek and Latin literature: nonverbal behaviour, i.e., vocalics, kinesics, proxemics, haptics, and chronemics. The individual chapters explore texts from Homer to the 4th century AD to discuss aspects of nonverbal behaviour and how these are linked to, reflect upon, and are informed by general cultural frameworks in ancient Greece and Rome. Material sources are also examined to enhance our knowledge and understanding of the texts.
