Description

Han's Licht's "Sexual Life in Ancient Greece" provides a fascinating account of ancient Greek society with a focus on sexuality. Exploring many different aspects of daily life from marriage customs and clothing to festivals and beauty contests, it offers a fantastic overview of Greek society and ideals not to be missed by those with an interest in the subject. Contents include: "Greek Ideals of Life", "Marriage and the Life of Women", "The Greek Woman", "Marriage Customs", "Additions and Supplementary Information", "The Human Figure", "Clothing", "Nakedness", "Gymnastics", "Beauty Contests and Further Remarks on Nakedness", "Bathing", "Festivals", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on Greek mythology.
