• Ovid: The Poet and the Emperor [08/15/2020]

“don’t pick partners when drunk”

Wait. What?

[Antoninus]

Others lamented that they missed their opportunity for love. So the poet Pindar (6th–5th century BCE) wrote a poem regretting that he could not make the much younger Theoxenus his boyfriend:

Ah, the Greeks. Forever confusing sodomy for "love".

Use a false name, always go to her place.

Anything that promotes readership of Ovid is a good thing!

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

“Well, the girls all look prettier just about closing time”

[Vaduz]

Don’t pick partners when drunk

The bottle is mightier then the quiver
W.C. Fields

That fear feeling you get when you wake up the next morning after last nights pick up.

[Political Junkie Too]

Ancient Greeks and Romans also had a lot to say about this subject.

What about Jimmy Buffet's "Honey, why don't we get drunk and screw?"

The Amazing Rhythm Aces- "Third Rate Romance" (with Lyrics)

[Albion Wilde]

...things did not always work out, and people had grievances against former lovers. One particularly famous invective was from the poet Martial (38–104 CE) to a woman called Manneia:

Manneia, your little dog licks your face and lips. Small wonder that a dog likes eating dung!

Hahahahhaaha!

Here’s a strange ancient advice: Asketh Lazamatazus if he wouldst “hittest it”.

[nopardons]

Ovid’s THE ART OF LOVE covers it all.
