Summary
The study of emotions has been a dynamic force in historical and historiographical research over the last decades. This conference - held at the Danish Institute at Athens - takes its cue from the observation that cognition and emotion are deeply intertwined, and that a renewed consideration on this connection has the potential to radically reshape our understanding of ancient historiography.
