"Modern notions of celebrity, fame, and infamy reach back to the time of Homer's Iliad.
During the Hellenistic period, in particular, the Greek understanding of fame became
more widely known, and adapted, to accommodate or respond to non-Greek understandings
of reputation in society and culture. This collection of essays illustrates the ways
in which the characteristics of fame and infamy in the Hellenistic era distinguished
themselves and how they were represented in diverse and unique ways throughout the
Mediterranean. The means of recording fame and infamy included public art, literature,
sculpture, coinage, and inscribed monuments. The authors examine the cultural means
whereby fame and infamy entered social consciousness, and explore the nature and effect
of this important and enduring sociological phenomenon."
