This book follows in the footsteps of Eros, the divine player par excellence. The figure of an immature, reckless, teasing, even cruel and unpredictable Eros, personifies in ancient Greece the intimate relationships that unite childhood with play, education, including the learning of self-control and the formation of social bonds, on the one hand, and the sphere of emotions arousing pleasure and, through it, a seductive power, on the other. One of the metaphorical expressions of this ambiguous power is play, which serves as a common thread in the contributions gathered here.
