Like fragments of overheard conversations, the thousands of
informal inscriptions scratched and painted on potsherds, tiles,
and other objects give us a unique insight into the everyday life
of the Athenian Agora. Some are marks of ownership, or the notes of
merchants, but many are sexual innuendos, often accompanied by
graphic illustrations. Using her wide contextual knowledge, the
author suggests why these scraps of sentences were written, and
what they can tell us about one of the first widely literate
societies.
