We can remember past pleasures and pains and anticipate future ones. Often these recollections and anticipations are themselves pleasant or painful. Aristotle notes that we can even enjoy recalling a past pain, as the swineherd Eumaeus claims to do at Homer Odyssey 15.199-401. What is the best explanation of this? The event is free but booking in advance is required.
