Abstract
First book to offer a comprehensive study of the virtue of courage and its corresponding vice, cowardice
Uniquely combines the literary, historical and philosophical sources to present a complete picture of the diverse opinions on the nature of courage in Ancient Greece
Undermines the common stereotype of a single, unified view on courage and cowardice in Ancient Greece
Illustrates that the current debates on the nature of courage have their origins in both the direct and indirect discussions of ancient authors
