Love in the Ancient World by Christopher Miles
In this text, film maker Christopher Miles and historian John Julius Norwich tour the Mediterranean Basin, looking at how ancient civilizations regarded sex and sexuality. They take in European cave paintings, Eygptian cosmologies, the teachings of Plato, and the histories of Plutarch.
John Julius Norwich was born in 1929. He was educated at Upper Canada College, Toronto, at Eton, at the University of Strasbourg and, after a spell of National Service in the Navy, at New College, Oxford, where he took a degree in French and Russian. In 1952 he joined the Foreign Service, where he remained for twelve years, serving at the embassies in Belgrade and Beirut and with the British Delegation to the Disarmament Conference at Geneva. In 1964 he resigned from the service in order to write.
