Beautifully illustrated in full color, this fascinating exploration looks at how ancient civilizations regarded sex and sexuality before hedonism was curtailed by organized religion and relations between the sexes were complicated by a prevailing sense of guilt.

By seeing how love was represented, communicated, commemorated, mythologized, and incorporated into worship from the earliest cave dwellers to the sophisticated Egyptian, Greek, and Roman societies, we can gain new perspectives on history as well as on our lives today. ; 10.9 X 8.9 X 0.6 inches; 176 pages .
