Summary: Alastair Blanshard joins us for the latest Blackwell Classics podcast, in a two-part special about his book 'Sex: Vice and Love from Antiquity to Modernity'. The book examines the impact that sexual fantasies in the classical world have had on modern Western culture, charting the evolution of erotic discourse from antiquity to the present day. Part one of the interview focuses on sex in classical Rome and we will be returning with Alastair for part two, on Greece, in the next programme.
