(First Edition 1932). 32 b/w illustrations. 557 pp. original light blue cloth with gilt titles, slightly rubbed on spine, ow fine.This companion volume to Sexual Life in Ancient Rome characterizes the difference between Greek and Roman sexual practices this way: "The inmost nature of the Greeks is naked sensuality, which, indeed, rarely become brutality--as in the case of the Romans." Licht, who taught at Leipzig University between the two World Wars, explains that Greek love, an exultant creed of sensuality, was of three major kinds: women for men, men for women, and men for boys. Even in the latter kind of love, the gods mimicked their creators. Heracles, for example, was a noted voluptuary (as well as an ascetic hero) with 14 boy-lovers. Sex and class were said to be as intertwined as men and boys in a statement by Heracleides Ponticus, a philosopher-student of Plato, who affirmed that voluptuousness is a right reserved for the governing classes, toil the condition of slaves and the poor. Subject areas include marriage and the life of women, the human figure, festivals, the theater, religion, erotic literature, masturbation, lesbianism, prostitution, male homosexuality, and perversions.

8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 391 pages with index.plus 16 glossy pages of photographs. Publisher's Weekly: In the mystery religion of Eleusis, a colony of Athens, cult members acted out the rape of Persephone in torchlit ceremonies, while worshippers shouted obscenities and huge models of genitals were displayed to assure the fertility of crops. Classical historian Grant reveals the deep primitive roots of Greek civilization in this wide-ranging survey of the ``archaic'' period (750-480 B.C.). It was a time when 700 scattered city-states, each bent on achieving self-sufficiency, added their distinctive contributions to the melting-pot of Hellenic culture. Organized geographically by settlement, Grant's rewarding history turns up many surprises: for example, he shows that the early Spartans, belying the reputation for brute military strength they later acquired, excelled in poetry, music and ivory carving; Spartan women were treated as equals of men and spared domestic chores; and the Ionian philosopher Anaximenes, who linked the microcosm of the individual self to the cosmos, almost certainly took his ideas from the Upanishads of India.

8vo, cloth ib dj, 336 pgs. illustrations In this fresh, accessible, and beautifully illustrated book, his third to examine an aspect of Roman visual culture, John R. Clarke explores the question, "What made Romans laugh?" Looking at Laughter examines a heterogeneous corpus of visual material, from the crudely obscene to the exquisitely sophisticated and from the playful to the deadly serious--everything from street theater to erudite paintings parodying the emperor. Nine chapters, organized under the rubrics of Visual Humor, Social Humor, and Sexual Humor, analyze a wide range of visual art, including wall painting, sculpture, mosaics, and ceramics. Archaeological sites, as well as a range of ancient texts, inscriptions, and graffiti, provide the background for understanding the how and why of humorous imagery. This entertaining study offers fascinating insights into the mentality of Roman patrons and viewers who enjoyed laughing at the gods, the powers-that-be, and themselves.
