zlib_text: Emotional Trauma in Greece and Rome 
  This volume examines emotional trauma in the ancient world, focusing on literary texts from 
  different genres (epic, theatre, lyric poetry, philosophy, historiography) and archaeological 
  evidence. The material covered spans geographically from Greece and Rome to Judaea, with a 
  chronological range from about 8th c. BCE to 1st c. CE. 
  The collection is organized according to broad themes to showcase the wide range of 
  possibilities that trauma theory offers as a theoretical framework for a new analysis of ancient 
  sources. It also demonstrates the various ways in which ancient texts illuminate contemporary 
  problems and debates in trauma studies.
