Eunichism was a subject which both intrigued and embarassed the ancient world. The special virtue attributed to the castrated male at court, of undistracted loyalty to their master, aided the promotion of numerous eunuchs to positions of great power. Such eminence provoked resentment and a whole class of literary discourse developed, reviling and occasionally defending these `half men'. Here, 12 new studies explore how eunuchs were perceived as well as aspects of their life and role within society.
