This agenda-setting collection challenges us to look beyond the 'visual/textual' paradigm and gives us a taste of the fascinating sensual and aesthetic possibilities afforded by the other senses, individually and in concert. - Victoria Wohl - University of Toronto Previous forays into a sensory approach to the Classical world have been somewhat disparate, and an entire volume on the topic is to be welcomed - The thirteen chapters in this volume range widely from Homer to Quintilian, and flirt with all of the five senses as recognised in a modern western sensorium (vision, hearing, touch, taste and olfaction), individually and in a more multisensory manner. - Digressus: The Internet Journal for the Classical World
