Book Description
The setting is Sicily, the island where the gods once spent their holidays. The principals are a newlywed couple in their forties, who hope to meld the children of their previous marriages into a brave, new, postnuclear family. But in John Guare's vastly original and eerily beautiful new play, any family may be reconstructed as a tragic pantheon, enacting passion as ancient as the strata of an archaeological dig and as catastrophic as an earthquake.

Book Description
Eros and Polis examines how and why Greek theorists treated political passions as erotic. Because of the tiny size of ancient Greek cities, contemporary theory and ideology could conceive of entire communities based on desire. A recurrent aspiration was to transform the polity into one great household that would bind the citizens together through ties of mutual affection. In this study, Paul Ludwig evaluates sexuality, love and civic friendship as sources of political attachment and as bonds of political association. Studying the ancient view of eros recovers a way of looking at political phenomena that provides a bridge, missing in modern thought, between the private and public spheres, between erotic love and civic commitment. Ludwig's study thus has important implications for the theoretical foundations of community.

Book Description
This narrative has three related intentions. The first, and primary in sheer volume of discussion, is to consider Greek and Latin literature as a prism through which Greco-Roman civilization may be understood, but through the specific lens of the interweave of two concepts, eros (love) and eris (strife). Neither of these apparently opposed modes of human behavior is presented without the other; the two are repeatedly intertwined with each other, from the description of how our world came into being to the various threads of epic and lyric poetry that offer accounts of human-divine, divine-divine and human-human interaction. Thus, beginning with Hesiod's Theogony and the surviving Homeric epics, (the Iliad and the Odyssey), I go on to consider Greek lyric, tragic and comic poetry-from Sappho and Pindar to Aiskhylos and Sophokles and Euripides to Aristophanes to Menander-and in turn I observe how the issue of eros/eris further plays out in Roman poetry, from Lucretius and Virgil to the panoply of lyric poets that includes Catullus as well as Tibullus, Propertius, and Ovid on the one hand and satirists like Juvenal on the other. The theme plays out in the most serious and the most humorous of modes. A briefer discussion-a kind of interlude-will include Plato (specifically, the Symposium) and a consideration of the visual arts will single out a handful of works in which this theme is particularly well represented, offering a complement to the literary articulation. My intention is to draw conclusions regarding this aspect of Greco-Roman culture while recognizing differences inherent in Greek versus Roman thinking that mark them both as a continuum and as distinct from each other. In what amounts to an extended epilogue, the third component of my narrative traces the eros/eris theme as it continues to play out in Western literature, suggesting this theme as one of the many instruments through which Western civilization erects a complex edifice built on Greek and Roman-and Hebrew biblical (included in this epilogue)-foundations. The discussion extends beyond the Bible to the Chanson de Roland to Dante's Divine Comedy to Pierre Corneille's Le Cid to Nikos Kazantsakis' The Odyssey: A Sequel to the magnificent contemporary poem by Nobel-prize-winner, Derek Walcott, Omeros, and to the musical, West Side Story. More simply put-given my inclusion of a discussion of the Baghavad Gita with respect to this theme-I ask how all of this might reflect more broadly and deeply on what humans are about, across the range of our cultures and civilizations, West and East.
