Oh I doubt all of them were overjoyed at the raping, exploitation and molestation. The adultery and sexual politics and heartbreak. The unwanted pregnancies, unwanted children - the terrible power dynamic of bastard kids. The STDs. The jealousy.
I think it was just a really corrupt culture. Like ours is getting to be.

I disagree. I think they were in awe of the principle of procreation; children were important to them; and they celebrated all of the pleasures and wonders of life.

It was a different time; and most myths are symbolic of something deeper than what they appear to depict.

I was told that the people of Pompeii considered the male appendage as a sign of prosperity. So there is that.

From the article.
“The House of Leda and the Swan fresco is one of 70 artworks featured in the exhibition, which is accompanied by an app and a guide contextualizing the show for children”.
HUH?
