Eros at Dusk: Ancient Wedding and Love Poetry
Wasdin, Katherine (Assistant Professor, Assistant Professor, George Washington University)
Eros at Dusk analyses the relationship between wedding poetry and love poetry in the ancient world. These two genres share and borrow themes to seduce brides as if they were beloveds and to praise mistresses as if they were brides, demonstrating deep-seated ancient notions about legitimate and illegitimate sexual relationships.
