A book about love as seen by the ancients, Eros is Anne Carson's exploration of the concept of "eros" in both classical philosophy and literature. Beginning with: "It was Sappho who first called eros 'bittersweet.' No one who has been in love disputes her. What does the word mean?", Carson examines her subject from numerous points of view and styles, transcending the constraints of the scholarly exercise for an evocative and lyrical meditation in the tradition of William Carlos William's Spring and All and William H. Gass's On Being Blue.
Epigrammatic, witty, ironic, and endlessly interesting, Eros is an utterly original book by an author whose acclaim has been steadily growing since the book was first published in 1986 by Johns Hopkins.
Anne Carson was born in Canada and teaches ancient Greek for a living. Her awards and honors include the Lannan Award, the Pushcart Prize, the Griffin Trust Award for Excellence in Poetry, a Guggenheim fellowship, and the MacArthur “Genius” Award.

Desire is not simple. The thing with triangulation is that the focus is no longer the beloved; it shifts to the desire itself. The focus is no longer a point, but the distance between two points.

评分我和jenny schecter一樣,要淚眼婆娑的說齣“這本書改變瞭我的一生”纔足以來描繪對anne carson的愛。
评分對古典學來說,用的精分太多瞭,時至今日隻想聽點沒那麼自我分析的愛情
评分Smart book! Eros the bittersweet. One book that tells about hatred and love that coexist. Remember there were movies when there's the character obsessed with the other character and how he had to murder her because he loved her too much? So love and hatre
