Is there a difference between the Greek and Roman perspectives on love?

Make the Iliad and Aeneid your secondary sources. Compare the loves of Helen for Paris:

"So, home from the wars!
Oh would to god you'd died there, brought down
by that great soldier, my husband long ago.
And how you used to boast, year in, year out
that you were the better man than fighting Menelaus
in power, arm and spear! So why not go back now,
hurl your challenge at Menelaus dear to Ares,
fight it out together, man-to-man again?

Wait,
take my advice and call a halt right here:
no more battling with fiery-haired Menelaus,
pitting strength against strength in single combat--
madness. He just might impale you on his spear!"

(Iliad III.499-510)

(Which was write after Aphrodite told Helen she was going to make her life hell if she didn't shut up and do as she was told)


With Aeneas and Dido

"But now Venus is mulling over some new schemes,
new intrigues. Altered in face and figure, Cupid
would go in place of the captivating Acanius,
using his gifts to fire the queen to madness,
weaving a lover's ardor through her bones."

(Aeneid I.782-786)

"But once he's embraced Aeneas, clung to his neck
to sate the deep love of his father, deluded father,
Cupid makes for the queen. Her gaze, her whole heart
is riveted on him now, and times she even warms him
snugly in her breast, for how can she know, poor Dido,
what a mighty god is sinking into her, to her grief?
But he, recalling the wishes of his mother Venus,
blots out the memory of Sychaeus bit by bit,
trying to seize with a fresh, living love
a heart at rest for long--long numb to passion."

(I.854-863)


Or you could appeal to some of the stuff Cicero wrote on friendship, or Homer's Odyssey, with Odysseus and Circe and Calypso and Penelope.


You could probably argue the question either way.




Also,

Aren't you glad Lent is over? Of course, you'll have to work out an extra hour a day for a week to get this out of your system, but ah well.

That's only the double baconator. It's for sissies. Three beef patties is the least necessary to make a manly sandwich.

This suffice?

There is a roadside bbq stand right down the street from me that Mrs. G and I have been itching to try. This guy makes the most insanely good bbq. He slow cooks it with a rub then smothers it in a sweet bbq sauce. Anyways, I got a rack of ribs and Mrs. G got pork chops and they were so outrageously good that my tongue and belly are in gastronomical heaven.

I'm so glad we're going to Five Guys for dinner today... we already decided that at lunch so I didn't go into burger-tailspin after coming here!

Five Guys, Jerry's Art-A-Rama and picking up the dog from the vet... all good!

Thanks Unfortunately I have to use the sources I'm given I think, but that's a good argument. Im awake, it's 5:30, i'm going to try to write. My stomach is tied in knots and I feel sick. Never leaving an assignment to the last minute again, no matter how short. Ugh.

 

[-Kyriaki-]

878 words. *takes a deep breath* I only need another 100 words or so on what Catullus shows about ancient rome's view of sexuality (not much in my poems unfortunately) and i can write the intro and conclusion, fix the footnotes and be done. And stagger my way through the day.

 

[-Kyriaki-]

1088, just needs a conclusion and to fix the footnotes (which I've just noted in shorthand - the author, book and page) and write a bibliography. Surprisingly I don't feel like I only got 3 hours of sleep. This is nice.
