Sexual Life In Ancient Greece

First published in 2001. From Ancient Greece, modern Western civilisation has derived many of its artistic philosophical and pollical ideas. But, in certain areas of sexual tolerance and inventiveness, we still have much to learn from the land and age which produced the most flourishing and creative culture of the ancient world. Professor Hans Licht, in this erudite and fascinating book, discusses in full every aspect of the Ancient Greek's sexual life.
