Description: Examines how ancient words and ideas about sex have left a significant imprint on present-day ideas, showing how the obscene and erotic verse of Roman epigram and love poetry became the sanitized language of 19th century sexual science and demonstrating how the reception of both Latin and Greek texts was central to the development of modern sexology and psychoanalysis.
