A bold new history of ancient aesthetics which offers a nuanced understanding of the effects, in Greek literature, of representation. It argues that the key concept of apate (meaning both 'deception' and 'aesthetic illusion') was used by writers from the Classical to the Imperial periods to entwine aesthetics with ethics.
