LOVE AND MARRIAGE IN ANCIENT TEXTS
Аннотация
Abstract:
Love and marriage have been perennial subjects of fascination and inquiry throughout human history. In this paper, we explore the depiction and understanding of love and marriage in ancient texts, focusing primarily on classical literature and historical documentation from ancient civilizations such as Greece, Rome, Mesopotamia, Egypt, and India. Through a multidisciplinary approach encompassing literary analysis, historical research, and cultural studies, we aim to elucidate the diverse perspectives, norms, and practices surrounding love and marriage in antiquity. By examining a range of texts, including epic poems, philosophical treatises, legal codes, and personal correspondence, we uncover the complex interplay between societal expectations, individual desires, and the dynamics of human relationships in the ancient world.Love and Marriage in Ancient Texts
