Description
Ancient authorities
from the Western classical tradition offer opinions on these and other
burning questions. The advice is often astonishing-for its wisdom, its
entertainment value, or its complete lack of concern for modern
sensibilities. The author, who collected these fascinating tidbits as
she worked her way through many of the extant classical sources, can't
help but enter the discussion with her own thoughts as well.
