The Greeks and Romans have left many legacies--democracy, philosophy, mathematics But they have also left a plethora of sexually explicit imagery--statues with erect penises, bestiality as garden sculpture, and drinking vessels, oil lamps and wall paintings showing scenes of rape and sexual intercourse. Some of these even had religious significance. Next time you are tempted to think the ancients "just like us," remember these images. Not that any of these images make the Greeks and Romans decadent or debauched; not when they are put back into a world in which people hung phallic pendants around their necks and from their doorways and worshipped gods who had the power to punish with their penises.

But while we gaze at the serene marble statues on display — straining male torsos and soft female flesh — are we seeing what the ancients saw? The feelings that beautiful faces and bodies rouse in us no doubt seem both personal and instinctive — just as they presumably did for the ancient Greeks who first made and enjoyed these artworks. But our reactions are inevitably shaped by the society we live in. Greek attitudes towards sex were different from our own, but are all those myths about the sex lives of the ancient Greeks true?

The Cycladic Museum in Athens is currently hosting a new exhibition on Eros in the ancient world. It has gripped Athenian audiences and world media, not least for its very visual display of some very sexual material. More importantly, it seeks to show what ancient Greek society thought about different kinds of sexual relations at different stages in life and how the conception of Eros changed over time.
Greeks have always been considered as the greatest and most active lovers worldwide. Nowadays, however, their sex life is frequently affected and undermined by several harmful habits such as smoking, obesity, stress, everyday routine and recently the financial crisis. According to a survey conducted by a leading condom manufacturer company, Greeks ranked first as the most sexually active people worldwide. Greeks came first as, based on their answers, 87 percent of them are having sexual intercourse at least once a week.
