To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Phedre has put into the mouth of AEsop an explanation of that love whichwould certainly not have been relished by the Greeks. He says that whilePrometheus was occupied with modelling his man and woman, he was invitedto a feast given by Jupiter, to the Gods; he came back intoxicated and, by mistake, applied the sexual parts of one to the body of the other.
For the rest, the Greeks were all in accord in their profound contemptfor women. The theatrical writers, especially, who studied moreparticul...arly the general opinions and catered to them in order to obtainthe applause of the public, were distinguished by their bitternessagainst the sex. Euripides maintained that Prometheus deserved to bechained to Mount Caucasus with the vulture gnawing at his entrails, because he had fashioned a being so pernicious and hateful as woman. Theshade of Agamemnon, in the Odyssey advised Ulysses not to put any faithin Penelope and did not stop talking until he had enumerated the entirelist of the vices of the sex.
