"Thinking Men explores artistic and intellectual expression in the classical world as the self-representation of man. It starts from the premise that the history of classical antiquity as the ancients tell it is the history of men. However, the focus of this volume is the creation, re-creation and iteration of that male self as presented in language, poetry, drama, philosophical and scientific thought and art: man constructing himself as subject in classical antiquity and beyond.--
