For Hellenistic moralists from ca. the first-century CE, all emotions carry a temptation to sin or error. To be guilty of emotional sin is to allow one's psychosomatic feelings (or rising emotion) free reign to trump godly (rational) guidance of behavioral pursuits. Thus, the moralists view unemotional or anti-emotional behavior as a sign of progress in virtue. After the fashion of the moralists, some popular morally minded Hellenistic writers (e.g., Apuleius and Chariton) recognize the vital ethical implications of emotion for character assessment. By way of narrative asides and foil characters, they establish the (anti-emotional) virtue or moral progress of their narrative heroes. The Gospel of Mark follows similar conventions. Emotive language peppers the Markan narrative, inviting moral assessments; Jesus and his company confront varying degrees of emotional pain. While assessing victory or defeat does require a narrative context, it does not require overly complex criteria: As a working definition for "emotion," this study proposes a three-phase mini-narrative script; this script is thoroughly grounded in the narratival nature of Greco-Roman emotion theory. In light of this historical understanding, the study concludes that Jesus consistently vanquishes emotion with "battle" techniques similar to those championed by moralists. The disciples and religious leaders, by contrast, ultimately truckle to temptations common to emotions like anger, envy, fear, and disbelief, enslaving themselves to a deceitful path of dissociating from Jesus and his logos of God's kingdom. Even so, Mark characterizes Jesus in the Hellenistic tradition of the anti-emotional exemplar, and several minor characters are liberated from destructive emotions through the mercy of Jesus's godly rationale (logos) or gospel.
