Constraints of Desire: The Anthropology of Sex and Gender in Ancient Greece (New Ancient World Series)

Rating:
Summary: very interesting book
Review: It's a very readable and well researched book about the sex and gender in ancient Greece.

I recommend it for everybody who is interested in the Greek history, gynaikologia, sexologia, and anthoropologia.

The most interesting thesis for me is the Chapter 2. of Part One ; "Laying Down the Law : The Oversight of Men's Sexual Behavior in Classical Athens",in which Mr. Winkler investigates the meanings of "kinaidos", "katapygon", "pornos" kai "kalos".
