Some old playwright wanted to see actor dick!
If he’s naked them then his quiver must be his butt then yeah?
Having clothes on in battle just gets your wounds infected.
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.
I don’t think people really understand how often everyone used to be naked. Greeks were naked like all the time.
@njm1314@lemmy.world …babies are naked, too, you prefer the company of naked babies?..
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.
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.
I was joking anyway. But yeah I knew about the olympics not so much celebrating nudity
