"This volume appears to have been, both literally and metaphorically, a 'labour of love'. [...] This is not a hastily thrown together collection of contributions: this is a careful, integrated and thought-provoking volume with common threads of interest and shared goals. [...] For the scholar, this book is fascinating and delightful. In keeping with the theme of the desirous gaze, it is a suitably handsome book to own, look at, admire, consult and read closely. It features several alluring colour illustrations from classical and modern art; immaculate quotations from Greek and Latin presented alongside English translations; a helpful anthology of ancient sources; an extensive bibliography; and an excellent index locorum and general index. What more could the scholar of erôs ask for?" Sonia Pertsinidis in: Classical Review 2022.
