In this fascinating and revealing A-to-Z, John G. Younger examines
the sexual practices, expressions and attitudes of the Greeks and
Romans, from Catullus and Caligula, to orgies and obscenity, and
from abstinence and incest, to pederasty and prostitution.
The book opens with an overview of current thinking on ancient sex
and sexuality, and goes on to provide an extraordinarily wide
coverage of a sexual culture so very different from our own,
approaching the subject from the perspectives of literature,
history, archaeology and art.
Comprehensive, reliable and eye-opening, this A-to-Z illuminates an
important aspect of the classical world. For those who want to take
their reading further, there are numerous references to ancient
sources and modern scholarship, as well as a separate section of
works of art. This is an ideal introduction to and exploration of
sex in the ancient world for readers at every level.
