The study of emotion in antiquity has produced an ever-growing bibliography that spans from exploring individual emotion to assessing their expression in various historical circumstances and sources. However, in relation to ancient Greek culture, a conspicuous gap persists in the examination of how gender differences shaped emotional experiences and expressions. This concise issue aims to address this gap.
