Plato’s Symposium SYLLABUS OF SEX


​TIDBIT OF TANTALIZING ACADEMIA
​The Symposium (Ancient Greek: Συμπόσιον, Sympósion [sympósi̯on]) is a philosophicaltext by Plato dated c. 385–370 BC. It depicts a friendly contest of extemporaneous speeches given by a group of notable men attending a banquet.

The men include the philosopher Socrates, the general and political figure Alcibiades, and the comic playwright Aristophanes. The speeches are to be given in praise of Eros, the god of love and desire. In the Symposium, Eros is recognized both as erotic love and as a phenomenon capable of inspiring courage, valor, great deeds and works, and vanquishing man's natural fear of death.

It is seen as transcending its earthly origins and attaining spiritual heights. This extraordinary elevation of the concept of love raises a question of whether some of the most extreme extents of meaning might be intended as humor or farce. Eros is almost always translated as "love", and the English word has its own varieties and ambiguities that provide additional challenges to the effort to understand the Eros of ancient Athens.

Examination of Sexuality in Greek Mythology


​THE GREEKS LIKED IT DIRTY
​Greek mythology has depicted a bold, colorful and sinful menagerie of debauchery in the rich detailed tales of masturbation, adultery, incest, polygamy, homosexuality, bisexuality, and intermarriage (in which eroticism and fertility were elemental). These activities are said to have existed since the birth of the cosmos and were said to be essential for securing the future of the human race. Considering this reproductive responsibility could be carried out within the confines of a heterosexual roll in the hay, it seems that they were looking for a justification for engaging in activities like incest or pedophilia. The male gods were so powerful that in order to spice the sex up (they weren’t satisfied with vanilla) they would switch physical form, for example, into a horse or a snake or some mixture of both. The females would switch it up too by having sex with a shapeshifter who took the form of her beloved pets. One god in particular enjoyed shapeshifting in his sex exploits. Let’s call him Zeus. You know, the King of Gods. He is not necessarily the guy they taught you in school.

THE KING OF THE GODS LIKED IT ROUGH
Zeus is a misogynistic rapist and pedaphile fond of raping women and young boys in the forms of beautiful creatures like swans, and he is the father of BDSM. He was a sexually promiscuous god who banged man, woman and child without a care and he created the Dom/sub dynamic in BDSM play. But it wasn’t role playing to him. He was always asserting his dominance like a dog peeing on his territory. He not only had dominance over the other gods – of both genders – but over all things. The king had a cavalier attitude towards women and was a perpetrator of serial rape. Zeus raped Leda, daughter of the Aetolian king Thestius, in the form of a swan; and he raped Danae, a princess of Argos, disguised as the rain. The depiction of Zeus and his home life with his duplicitous and deceptive wife Hera, opened the door to centuries of male domination and women’s subservience. This power play kind of attitude stemmed from Zeus and his insecurity about women, and so it gave birth to the concept of misogyny. If women need someone to blame for this inequality, it is Zeus.

IPHIMEDIA AND POSEIDON FAMILY RELATIONS
Iphimedeia, a mortal, was desperately in love with the ocean god Poseidon (please note that he was depicted as her grandfather in the Odyssey) that she’d go to the seashore and pour the sea water right into her vagina. A little hot for grandpa, right? Well, it worked and Poseidon impregnated her from the - get this - the shape of seawater. She gave birth to his two sons - or his great grandsons - who were called Otos and Ephialtes,

MEDUSA DIDN’T START OUT A MONSTER
Everyone knows Medusa and her hair full of snakes and a penchant for turning people to stone with just her eyes. But there are several variations of the origin of the Medusa we know now. One suggested that Poseidon raped her in the temple of Athena while in the form of a horse. When he was spent, he galloped away leaving Medusa to be cursed by the chaste Athena for defiling her temple . Medusa got pregnant and the first Pegasus, a winged horse, was born.

URANUS AND HIS MAGIC PENIS
Uranus had been the intimate partner of the primordial goddess Gaia (mother nature) and together they gave birth to the twelve Titans and the creatures known as the Cyclops. Uranus was intimidated by some of his children’s power, so he was instrumental in snuffing them out before they could rise. They were buried and Gaia asked her Titan child Chronos (the Titan god of time and incidentally the god who later came to swallow his own children) to be courageous and take him down. Instead of merely just killing him, Chronos castrated Uranus and tossed his penis in the ocean. You would think the story would have ended there. But a foam in the ocean swarmed down on that penis and worked a bit of mystical mojo, and from it came forth new life - in the form of the fully grown and developed goddess known as Aphrodite. She rose from the ocean, left her father’s penis to it’s fate, and strutted her way forth to become the goddess of beauty and sexuality.

THE MINOANS WERE STRIPPERS
Our earliest evidence for ancient Greek sexuality comes with the Minoans (approximately 3650 to 1400 BC). Women were always scantily clad at this time – a favorite outfit was a short-sleeved robe with bouncy skirts and tops open to the navel leaving breasts exposed. It is said they were the ones who created the strapless fitted bodice, a first for fitted garments in history. They were also the ones who created the Barbie ideal of femininity with long flowing hair, tiny waist, big bosoms and rounded hips. These gals were responsible for the corset.

ACHILLES WAS A KILLER & A LIFETIME TV ROMANTIC
In the Iliad, an epic poem chronicling the mythology, comes evidence of romantic love from an unlikely source. The tough as nails, killing machine and Homeric war hero known as Achilles. Achilles was a softie and a romantic, to an extent. He declared his undying love to Briseis and referred to her as his wife. But the beautiful and intelligent Briseis was not quite smitten when she first encountered Achilles. So he slaughtered her father, mother, three brothers and husband during an assault on Troy, and then took her as his prize and made her dependent on him. To Achilles, he didn't do anything wrong; he just did what men were supposed to do for their woman.

The Greeks have many sex driven tales to tell. Pick up The Iliad or the Odyssey for some light reading.
