Description
This volume offers a fascinating reassessment of "imagination" in ancient Greek thought in Classical Athens, premised upon the idea that imaginative activity and efforts to articulate it can take place in the absence of technical terminology or formal theory as developed in later periods by Plato and Aristotle.
