You have to remember that pederastic relationships in ancient greece were meant to be educational, and not sexual, of which if it were, the offender was usually punish harshly, even by death. (The same was in Rome) If you're talking about arranged marriage, that is another story, and is simply to try and plan ahead so that when the partners do come of age, they are set for their much shorter lives.

I've started to say along "Naked Statues, fat Gladiators and war Elephants" the name itself seemingly is effective marketing lol. I haven't bought it yet, but I will definitely get it eventually!

Now now, I just ordered your book AND I love your long interviews! My area is Medieval (particularly 1300-1500) so I’m wayyyyy out of my normal sphere but your sense of humour and lovely manner, your topics and all around love for the classics has charmed me, what can I say?!

*"Ovid's a rake, as half his verses show him;* *Anacreon's morals are a still worse sample;* *Catullus scarcely has a decent poem;* *I don't think Sappho's Ode a good example,* *Although Longinus tells us there is no hymn* *Where the Sublime soars on wings more ample;* *But Virgil's songs are pure, except that horrid one* *Beginning with **_Formosam pastor Corydon_** ."* - Byron, _Don Juan_

Roman: "I'm in love, Caesar" Domitian: "Congratulations, son of Romulus! What cult does the lucky girl pray to, by the way?" Roman: "Vesta, Caesar..." 😉 Domitian: 🤬

Great work! Roman attitudes towards love and romance highlight how much we have in common with them as well as just how divergent our culture And values are

I was crying laughing the whole way thru this... Thanks, I needed that!

That was fun! Seriously amusing stuff. Many thank-yous!

All through history around the world, romantic love is a rare luxury after all, even when material needs are met. So you can't expect much of that in Rome where most ppl barely made ends meet.

Excellent KZread channel. Relevant and interesting information presented in a, at times, tongue-in-cheek manner.

This video is entertaining, educational, and funny! Thank-you for improving my day.

This was very fun, and the illustrations so well chosen.

Great job, per usual, Garrett 👏

Interesting topic. I will take this knowledge with me on my planned time machine trip to ancient Rome, inspired by your three guide book programs a couple of years ago.

I just discovered your wonderful channel and have been binge watching your videos all morning. Of course I subbed!

Speaking of Ovid, his best work about love is "Phyramus and Thisbe", the story of the forbidden and tragic relationship between two young Babylonians whose families maintain a fierce rivalry between them. Too bad that story was plagiarized centuries later by a presumptuous Briton...

Severus and Successus don’t seem to understand that, as a barmaid, Iris was just trying to get a bigger tip.

This guy is so funny. The commercial is priceless.

I saw the frescoes in person when I visited Pompeii with an archaeology class. We decided they were the equivalent of the picture menus at those little restaurants in Manhattan, where you walk in, point to the sign, and say "I want a number two."

"statistically speaking, have never watched". Well, "seldom" is more apt, but I'll try to correct that. I did watch the recent valuable coin-cleaning video, quite good (*****).

Curiously Ovid also wrote "Medicamina Faciei Femineae", a didatic poem on the use of cosmetics by Roman Women. In this video, the opus was properly alluded through the sponsor words.

I would love to know whose work are the "marble bench" paintings, some are quite humorous. Edit: It is John William Godward (1861 - 1922) an English painter.

I remember reading Ovid when I was teenager, and that is where I learned that my generation did not in fact invent sex.

@toldinstone Is it possible that an oarfish could have washed up on shore once?, the creature at 1:00 looks similar to one.

Fun!

I love how very unconvincingly he presents the products of his sponsors 😆 How good that he does not work in marketing!
