Some old playwright wanted to see actor dick!
Having clothes on in battle just gets your wounds infected.
I don’t think people really understand how often everyone used to be naked. Greeks were naked like all the time.
When you read the Odyssey with the view that Penelope knows who Odysseus is from the moment she sees him, even in his disguise, the last parts of the poem take on a whole new dimension.
And the “mark no man has hit” was the (outside) of Eurymakhos’s throat, if I recall. Which he hit.
If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing naked.
Eh he could have had a thong on
Doubtful. The Greeks celebrated nudity as a tribute to the gods. The Olympics were conducted nude. He is naked for a reason in this story. Its why the statues of these heroes are almost universally depicted in the nude.
I was joking anyway. But yeah I knew about the olympics not so much celebrating nudity
That was just to ensure a fair competition. You never know when someone is wearing performance enhancing clothing spun from golden fleece, or otherwise blessed from gods. It was the anti-doping movement of its time.
