This book - the only history of friendship in classical antiquity that exists in English - examines the nature of friendship in Greece and Rome from Homer to the Christian Roman Empire of the fourth century AD. Friendship is conceived of as a voluntary and loving relationship, but there are major shifts in emphasis from the bonding among warriors in epic poetry, to the egalitarian ties characteristic of the Athenian democracy, the status-conscious connections in Rome and the Hellenistic kingdoms, and the commitment to a universal love among Christian writers. Friendship is also examined in relation to erotic love and comradeship, for its role in politics and economic life, in philosophical and religious communities, in connection with patronage and the private counsellors of kings, and in respect to women. Its relation to modern friendship is also fully discussed.

因為多種原因分兩年看完的小冊子。廣泛使用多種材料,涉及麵也很廣泛,政治圈的討論最為豐富,尤其是羅馬的部分可以和各種講clientage的對看(還有Brunt和Burton),不過這套書一嚮是主題性,也導緻什麼都說瞭一些但什麼都沒說得很透徹。主要看瞭希臘化和羅馬部分,希臘化部分的國際政治考察顯得粗略,羅馬的部分主要強調瞭個人之間的amicitia而對政治體之間的外交部分探討不豐富(後者參考Holleaux吧)。基督教的部分略讀瞭。仍然是filia amicitia研究不可或缺的入門之作,流暢可愛的style。
