Description

Explore the hidden meanings behind ancient gestures in Body Language in Hellenistic Art and Society. Published by Oxford University Press, this richly-illustrated volume examines how ancient social attitudes were encoded in the physical postures of their subjects. From the way Hellenistic kings raised an arm to the specific etiquette of sitting, this study reveals how body language defined social status. By combining anthropology and archaeology, the text looks at a wide range of social groups, including the elite, slaves, the elderly, and the disabled. It answers fundamental questions about how ancient Greeks perceived the human body and what specific gestures, such as the practice of Tuck-for-Luck, meant within their culture. This book provides a deep look into the representation of diverse people through Hellenistic art objects.
