Carpe diem – 'eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die!' – is a prominent motif throughout ancient literature and beyond. This wide-ranging, interdisciplinary study reveals its significance in ancient poetry and art, especially in creating the almost magical impression that something is happening here and now.
