Eros: The Myth Of Ancient Greek Sexuality Paperback - 1998
by Bruce S. Thornton
Classics scholar Bruce S. Thornton argues that the Greeks were not hedonistic and saw Eros as a dangerous force in need of control. Thornton offers an iconoclastic account of ancient sexuality that links the wary attitudes of the Greeks to our own modern concerns about love, sex, and family. We see here a vision of sexuality that is perhaps more honest and mature than our own dangerous illusions.
First line
LET'S START WITH a famous "love story" from ancient Greece, as told by Apollonius of Rhodes in his Voyage of the Argo (ca. 250 B.C.).
