  The first book to offer an integrated reading of ancient Greek
attitudes to laughter. Taking material from various genres and contexts, the book analyses both the theory and the
practice of laughter as a revealing expression of Greek values and mentalities. Greek society developed distinctive
institutions for the celebration of laughter as a capacity which could bridge the gap between humans and gods; but it
also feared laughter for its power to expose individuals and groups to shame and even violence. Caught between ideas of
pleasure and pain, friendship and enmity, laughter became a theme of recurrent interest in various contexts. Employing a
sophisticated model of cultural history, Stephen Halliwell traces elaborations of the theme in a series of important
texts: ranging far beyond modern accounts of 'humour', he shows how perceptions of laughter helped to shape Greek
conceptions of the body, the mind and the meaning of life.
  
  
  
  Reviews
  '...a wide survey of Greek laughter from Homer to the early
Christians...the introduction is quite the best brief overview of the role of laughter in any historical period that I
have ever read... some of [Halliwell's] discussions are brilliant... The highlight is his discussion of Democritus, the
fifth-century philosopher and atomist...' --TLS
  
  "Stephen Halliwell
has written a monumental book on the notoriously volatile and elusive phenomenon of laughter. This book is an
extraordinary resource. The trouble with laughter--and the delight of it--is that it impinges on practically every
socio-cultural dynamic imaginable. Halliwell has given us a rich and remarkable starting point for thing about such
dynamics. That is why every student of the ancient world should attend this book." --BMCR
  
  "...a book of great originality as well as immense range... it is
remarkable how a chronological treatment also has a compelling thematic momentum: this is an exhilarating read." --The Anglo-Hellenic Review
