Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Yeah, I'm vaguely aware of what you talk about as I've been on a bit of an antiquity bender for the last year, but I've not covered this topic on much detail. Any books or sources you could recommend?
The author I recommend elsewhere in this thread is great - James Davidson. His books are Courtesans and Fishcakes and The Greeks and Greek Love.
Nice, thanks
