|---|---|---|
A study of Greek and Roman attitudes towards love and sexuality. Literary and artistic evidence will be used to explain why scenes of erotica were widely on display within the ancient home and in the public realm. Analysis of these attitudes in their own context will be combined with a discussion of how they relate to modern values and gender issues. Topics include social morality, homosexuality, marriage and adultery, erotic art, fertility rituals, and pornography. | ||
