Lysistrata (11)

Publication Date: November 29, 2014

Chapter: Ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern Literature

“Celebrating Aphrodite’s holy mysteries,” is how I’m going to refer to sex for the rest of forever. Nobody may ever understand what I mean, but I’ll still feel super cool doing it.

Actually, Aphrodite’s Holy Mysteries sounds like a young adult detective series. Teen Aphrodite sneaks around ancient Greece, investigating crimes and sticking it to the establishment like a Bronze Age Nancy Drew! You know you’d read it. Admittedly, it’s problematic that she’d be a teen super sleuth that’s historically known for encouraging people to have copious amounts of sex, but I’m sure we could just write around that part. Probably.
