Pyrrhos: his son and daughters married?

[SwissBarbar]

well he had more than 1 wife, so probably they were only half-brother and half-sister *LooooL*

[Ca Putt]

well look at the ptolomies, imo they ar MUCH worse!

Political marriage or actual Genetic sexual attraction...dangs

In all fairness, it's not fair to judge ANY culture by the norms of one. Just as we may find some cultures past and present barbaric and uncivilised, they may think the same as us.

The things that seperate different cultures are their values and morals more than anything else. Just because Incest is consider heinous now doesn't make it so then. If it wasn't for the bible, we might still be doing it (except in Norfolk where they are still doing it )! You may marry someone for their attractiveness and think nothing of the shame it could bring your family by marrying beneath yourself. Pyrrhos may find that appalling, but now it would be romantic and a good thing. Let them marry whoever they want!

Errm, they were doing it in Bible, in case you didn't know. The gizzer named Noah got screwed by all his three daughters as long as I member.
I think we are not doing it because we can distinguish between normal and [messed] up.

and because it leads to retards if done too often -> habsburg

but youre right, it is not to us to judje if people who lived 2000 years before us were good or bad. they would probably find A LOT of stuff to detest in our society.

No, it doesn't.

Pyrrhos' daughter was married to the tyrant of Syracuse. I'm not quite sure on his sons though.

I think it was actually his sons...which is a bit more disturbing.

But parent-child incest is WAYYYYY worse than brother sister incest.

Why do we really care who they married? They married and had some fun. That's history. RTW engine doesn't represent it because it's usually considered unacceptable in modern society.

There's of course the theory that people used to be genetically stronger than we are now, because naturally we all degrade. So in that case Noah's daughters would have gotten healthy kids! In any case, it's only until Moses that the Bible comes up with rules against incest. There's no other way if Adam and Eve really existed, you know. (:

Genes aren't "strong" or "weak", only recessive and dominant. Sumskilz' post sums it up nicely.
