DESCRIPTION
Beauty: The Fortunes of an Ancient Greek Idea (Onassis Series in Hellenic Culture)
What does it mean to say something is beautiful? On the one hand, beauty is associated with erotic
attraction on the other, it is the primary category in aesthetics, and it is widely supposed that the proper
response to a work of art is one of objective contemplation. At its core, then,beauty is a contested
concept, and both sides feel comfortable appealing to the authority of Plato, and via him, to the ancient
Greeks generally. So, who is right-if either?Beauty offers an elegant investigation of ancient Greek
notions of beauty and, in the process, sheds light on how we ought to appreciate the artistic
achievements of the classical world. The book opens by reexamining the commonly held notion that the
ancient Greeks possessed no term that can beunambiguously defined as "beaty"or
"beatiful."Author David Konstan discusses a number of Greek approximations before
positioning the heretofore unexamined term kállo as the key to bridging the gap between beauty
and desire, and tracing its evolution as applied to physical beauty, art,literature, and more. The book then
examines corresponding terms in Biblical Hebrew and ancient Latin literature to highlight the survival of
Greek ideas in the Latin West. The final chapter compares the ancient Greek conception of beauty with
modern notions of beauty and aesthetics. In particular,it focuses on the reception of classical Greek art in
the Renaissance and how Vasari and his contemporaries borrowed from Plato the sense that the beauty
in art was transcendental, but left out the erotic dimension of viewing. Even if Greece was the inspiration
for modern aesthetic ideals, thisstudy illustrates how the Greek view of the relationship between beauty
and desire was surprisingly consistent-and different from our own. This fascinating and magisterial
exploration makes it possible to identify how the Greeks thought of beauty, what it was that attracted
them, and what theirperceptions can still tell us about art, love, desire-and beauty.
