| 520 | _a"From courtshipto marriage to adultery and prostitution, James Robson takes a broad look at the sex lives and sexual beliefs of ancient Athenians. Each of the five chapters focuses on a key area - Marriage; Same-Sex Relationships; Prostitution; Rape and Adultery; and Sex Appeal, Fantasy and Taboo - and explores both ancient accounts of sexual behaviour and the different ways modern scholars have understood them. The discussion also addresses a range of issues essential to our broader understanding of classical Greek culture, such as the power dynamics of sexual acts and the position of women in society. Sex and Sexuality in Classical Athens also presents a wide selection of images and extracts from original sources in translation, providing direct access to the anient evidence. As you reade, you will be encouraged to scrutinise the debates and documents yourself and form your own opinions about the ways in which ancient Athenians perceived and experienced their sexual world."-- | ||
