| From what the Ancient Greeks might have talked about in bed to womenís health and the intricacies of Greek marriage, Paul Chrystal shines a much-needed light on sex and sexuality in ancient Greece, one of the worldís most influential civilizations.??This is a balanced, comprehensive and well-researched analysis of the many aspects of sexual desire and activity in the various Greek societies ñ from the Minoan civilisation, Athens and the other city states, to Sparta and Hellenistic Greece.??It examines attitudes to, and the practice of, sex in Greek mythology, literature and real life; in love, marriage, and adultery; in religion and philosophy; in the visual arts; of sexual medicine and erotic magic; and the vocabulary of sex. A wealth of primary sources are called upon to provide evidence of the antics of the ancient Greeks. |
