If there’s anything more tedious than a naked body, it’s a documentary about showing it off, and yet here I am, watching one, or at least trying to. But as I wrote the opening sentence, I gave up on the film and decided to read a little about the perception of and attitude towards the body in antiquity, and more specifically in ancient Greece and Rome, instead. I found an interesting series of articles on the subject titled The Body as an Idea in Ancient Greece 101 by Eugenia Ivanova, and I’m already halfway through, but it’s getting late, so I will finish it tomorrow. It’s time to take my naked body to the shower and to bed.
