world lit post 3 the psychology of the various characters in our poems and what that psychology reveals about ancient views of eroticism

Ancient views of eroticism was that it was normal to show sexual things in public. They had statues and monuments that showed certain sexual favors and parts. It isn't how they define it today. Today in public they say its unacceptable. It's public display of affection. Sappho's was into love poems. She used deep meanings to convey her love. Catullus talked about his surroundings. He used what he saw to talk about the way he feel.
