The Garden of Priapus: Sexuality and Aggression in Roman Humor
Richlin, Amy (Associate Professor of Classics, Associate Professor of Classics, University of Southern California)
Using literary and feminist methodology, this study argues that an attitude of sexual aggressiveness in defence served as a model for Roman satire. The author suggests that aggressive sexual humour reinforced Roman aggressive behaviour on both the individual and societal levels.
