Produktinformationen zu „Sexual Life in Ancient Greece (PDF)“
Imagine a wedding beginning with the bride and groom clothed as transvestites, and culminating with the groom carrying off his bride for a “seeming rape” as family and friends mock-object. Once married, society mandates that he not only visit hetaerae (mistresses) but more importantly that he enter into a sacred relationship with a young male who had reached puberty; meanwhile, the woman, who did not have as much sexual freedom, would rely on gossiping with her friends to learn ways to satisfy her own sexual needs.In Sexual Life in Ancient Greece, Licht delves into Greek literature and the arts to uncover the striking differences between our contemporary culture and the Ancient World. He explains that because the Greeks envisioned highly erotic gods sexuality was not considered shameful, as it is by today’s moral codes, which are based in Christianity. A comprehensive work, Sexual Life in Ancient Greece covers issues including castration, excrement, obscenities, and traditions surrounding childbirth.
Autoren-Porträt von Hans Licht
Hans Licht taught at Leipzig University in Germany. He wrote Sexual Life in Ancient Greece between the two World Wars.Although he chose to write on a highly charged topic concerning the Ancient World, his own modern reservations come across as he discusses certain aspects of sexuality. His misogynistic attitude underestimates the mental capacity of women, despite his attempt to voice their side of the story through his research on the limited texts concerning them. Furthermore, his attempt to show that the human body was considered natural and beautiful is undermined by his illusive diction.
