Partridge Burgo
A History of Orgies The author gives an academic evaluation of the motives behind orgies and examines to what extent social environment and individual psychology overlap to produce these phenomena. He attributes Hedoism to the Greeks feasts in honour of the grape he says and goes on . The Romans more sophisticated but less wholesome infected them with cruelty . Nero and Caligua to one side I have yet to meet a Greek who knows how to cook spaghetti properly.
