So I was wondering, what would be the funnest guys to party with in the BC time? Do you guys like Roman Orgies? Making people fight to the death for your own amusement? Getting drunk and attacking the neighbors and stealing their booze? What? :beam:

Personally it might have been fun to get drunk and go charioting in ancient Egypt. I'm sure its happened. With all that beer, I'm sure someone did some DUi in the desert.:2thumbsup:

Absolutely gladiatorial combat. There is nothing like it today, and yet today's people are even more familiar with violence, (albeit being TV, and therefore not real) only making it more coveted. Orgies you can have today, and much better. Plus, who cares about that? You simply cannot beat real combat simulations.

Concerning the orgies I think it depends on whether you can afford a proper Hetaira or just a cheap Porne...

Bah, those Hetaira were probably too sophisticated for our simple modern minds. They were meant to entertain men's brains as much as genitals, and as far as brains and philosophical discussions go, the vast majority of us would be lost. Our modern wits have degenerated quite a bit, not to mention that we are not the elites and the brightest of our society, as the clients of Hetairas were. So I doubt any of you would be able to appreciate them. Mindless gladiatorial games are just the right thing for us, stupid and violence-addicted modern plebs.

I think they'd be more shocked by the upright chairs, persian goblets, celtic trousers and too-tall independant women.

You want to know who to party with? Socrates, at least if Plato was even half telling the truth. I'm pretty dissapointed you guys are so into the blood and gore of the gladiators though. Some of those guys did actually die, you know.

Mind, I suppose no one told you about the live sex shows the Greeks had.

I 'spose that partying for us not-too-rich folk would be pretty much the same as it is now, except that hookers would be a lot easier to hire.

Still, I guess I would've enjoyed a good decadent orgy. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Romans use opium for recreational purposes?

No no, i don't think my penis is big enough to be a part of the gaesatae. I think if the Romans saw the Gaesatae marching towards them, and then they saw me in the middle, they'd nudge each other and say "Hah! look at that ones penis!" and all the other gaesatae would be like "Dude, go join the slingers man, you're letting the unit down".

Then i'd have to wander the battlefield waiting for someone to die so i could steal his pants. :embarassed:

Our modern wits have degenerated quite a bit, not to mention that we are not the elites and the brightest of our society, as the clients of Hetairas were. So I doubt any of you would be able to appreciate them. Mindless gladiatorial games are just the right thing for us, stupid and violence-addicted modern plebs.

I'd gladly duel wits with a Hetaira any day, mind you--even more than I'd like to do that other thing. Smart women, especially whose who I can have intelligent discourse with, are terribly sexy.

I'd go for a elite Symposion, with Hetaira, philosophical discussion, and good wine! I party low-key!

Well Dayve, it's pretty obvious that you have self-esteem issues. So remember this saying:

It's not how long big your spear is--- it's how you use it.

Think of it this way. I play as Koinon Hellenon quite a bit. They have hoplitai and Spartiartai. But the Makedonians are all proud over there with their huge sarissas. So the Makedonians march over and are like "Ha, take a look at their puny spears!" So they march into Greece, lay siege to Athens, and try to screw everyone over with the're long spears.

But guess what: they all ran away from Greece! Why? It's because even though the Greeks had short spears, they still screwed the Makedonians over in the end (due to flanking and various other tactics under my leadership).

Now in real life, the Makedonians conquered Greece due to the success of the pike phalanxes in combination with heavy cavalry. But still, guys with long spears get screwed over by guys with short spears in close combat.

Now I know what you're thinking: "How do I use my spear?" Well, the Asian peoples had the same problem and the Kama Sutra solved the problem with creative methods. I'm not going to describe it here, but basically, it tells us that size doesn't always matter when it comes to getting the job done!:yes:

So, go out there and learn how to use your spear!

It was more of a joke than anything to be honest. I won't talk about the size of my penis here, i'll just say that when un-erect it isn't as big as that of the Gaesatae model, at least from the angle i see it from.

Although, the Gaesatae model looks like they have been circumcised, and circumcision always adds, if only visually, quite a big of length onto it. In reality it's still the same size, it simply looks bigger.

Concerning that battle maneuver in EB, I prefer using naked Galatian mercenaries for the job. They're brutally effective at it, and don't need any spears.

Anyway, if I were living in the classical times I wouldn't care for parties. Certainly not for any bloody games in the circus. What I'd do is build up a big harem of the prettiest slave-girls I could afford, and spend all my free time in their company...

There are some great ancient parties on record: Kleopatra (and her ear-ring) vs Antony, Damocles vs Dionysius 2, Alexander vs the Persepolis fire brigade...

I guess the ancients would find our parties somewhat unstructured, as I believe even Roman orgies had rules. However there are more consequences in our world of CCTV and hand held camera phones (as I found out this New years Eve-I believe I'll be on U Tube soon, as "comatose guy in blanket on porch")...

Still it would be marvelous to quaff Falernian (sp.?) with Caesar or a krater with Kraterus, with a translator and a kevlar vest (just in case Brutus or Alexander showed up a bit snaky). In vino veritas and all that, you could get a real insight into their true character.

I suspect the modern array of products with all the types of alcohol and drugs on offer would pretty much shatter our ancestors. They led tough lives we can't imagine, but refined spirits and unfamiliar chemicals would lead to some quick goodnights.

...He said that he met with Socrates fresh from the bath and wearing his best pair of slippers—quite rare events with him—and asked him whither he was bound in such fine trim.

“To dinner at Agathon's,” he answered. “I evaded him and his celebrations yesterday, fearing the crowd; but I agreed to be present today...

...A few moments after, they heard the voice of Alcibiades in the forecourt, very drunken and bawling loud, to know where Agathon was, and bidding them bring him to Agathon. So he was brought into the company by the flute-girl and some others of his people supporting him: he stood at the door, crowned with a bushy wreath of ivy and violets, and wearing a great array of ribands on his head. “Good evening, sirs,” he said; “will you admit to your drinking a fellow very far gone in liquor, or shall we simply set a wreath on Agathon—which indeed is what we came for—and so away? I tell you, sir, I was hindered from getting to you yesterday; but now I am here with these ribands on my head, so that I can pull them off mine and twine them about the head of the cleverest, the handsomest, if I may speak the—see, like this! Ah, you would laugh at me because I am drunk? ...

...Reclining there, he proceeded: “Now then, gentlemen, you look sober: I cannot allow this; you must drink, and fulfil our agreement. So I appoint as president of this bout, till you have had a reasonable drink—myself. Agathon, let the boy bring me as large a goblet as you have. Ah well, do not trouble,” he said; “boy, bring me that cooler there,”— for he saw it would hold a good half-gallon and more. This he got filled to the brim, and after quaffing it off himself bade them fill up for Socrates, saying, “Against Socrates, sirs, my crafty plan is as nought. However large the bumper you order him, he will quaff it all off and never get tipsy with it.” ...

... when suddenly a great crowd of revellers arrived at the door, which they found just opened for some one who was going out. They marched straight into the party and seated themselves: the whole place was in an uproar and, losing all order, they were forced to drink a vast amount of wine...

Actually, the WHO is currently sponsoring circumcision in parts of Africa in an attempt to control the spread of AIDS. Apparently, the area under the foreskin is very rich in white blood cells, which serve as a stepping stone for the virus to infect the body. Removing the foreskin removes these cells. However, I understand the evidence of circumcision's efficacy is not entirely complete (but it's not my field of expertise), and in any case it only reduces the chance of infection.

Considering the infamous ape prostitutes in Africa, and the boundless lust of men, the poor non-human primates were most likely raped first. The first case among a European was a British sailor in 1952. From Congo (Zaire) I believe. Then again, apes have been rumoured to attack women with intent to have intercourse with them, although it is highly disputed and sketchy.

Those "elite" symposia drinking/philosophical discussions often evolved into orgies as well.

And remember, the hetairai were the highest-ranking women in Greek society, and they often rose from humble backgrounds like slavery. If they had talent at pleasing men (in many different ways, dancing, talking, ****ing, partying, even just walking around in the street together) then often they could get some money and become free. Also, they were their own agents, were allowed to manage their own affairs, and their opinions were considered equally valid to those of male citizens.

Oh, and the prostitutes of Greece also had an incredible way of getting customers - they wrote "FOLLOW ME" on the bottom of their sandals, and a customer would see this, and be able to follow her (to who knows where...)

I know another way to stop AIDS without decapitating your wang.

Don't have sex with someone who has AIDS and don't have sex with chimpanzees! :whip:

This thread has run its course. AIDS is a serious topic, but one that does not belong in the EB forums.
