Description
Summary:	"This open access volume is the first to explore systematically and comprehensively the concept and category of 'horror' in antiquity. The contributors retrieve the ancient grammar of horror by paying equal attention to its affective and cognitive dimensions; by looking at it as an embodied and enactive, full-rounded existential experience. They explore how horrifying experiences in antiquity are construed as embodied events but also how they are conceptually rooted in cultural frameworks.
