Recent attacks on contemporary art have portrayed the erotic
content of works by Robert Mapplethorpe and others as if it were a
deviation from the Western artistic tradition. On the contrary,
there is a rich tradition of eroticism in the arts beginning with
the erotic verse of ancient Greek and Roman poets. Games of Venus,
the first comprehensive anthology in English of ancient Greek and
Roman erotic verse, revives this tradition for the modern reader.
Itpresents the whole spectrum of erotic poetry from Sappho to Ovid
in translations which evoke the full range of styles and tones
present in the original Greek and Latin. Brief biographical
sketches accompany the work of each poet as do notes referring to
the myths, geography, historical events, personages, and sexual and
social customs mentioned in the verse.
