Hesiod out here warning us about tramp stamps a few millenia early
And gold-diggers. Pithiness, thy name is Hesiod.
Grain diggers*
Oh, tramp stamps make sense. I was thinking maybe butt plugs with furry tails lol
It’s more like bustles but tramp stamps is funnier
Even in those times you had to deal with lemon stealing whores smh.
granary stealing whores
I would click that link
Why are they always after my granary?
Is it the extra half food after population increase?
Get with the times old man, it’s +1 food on every farm and plantation now.
It’s that or the barracks, man. Ladies always be after that early game conquest.
Asking for a friend, but what were people decorating their buttocks with in Hesiod’s time.
Edit:
I found the following on https://neoskosmos.com/en/2019/11/24/dialogue/opinion/buttocks-of-greece-an-ancient-arse-country/
He then wrote him the following poem: “On Paeonian daughters who adorn their buttocks: Hesiod said to his brother Perses: – Don’t let an arse-decorated (πυγόστολος) woman deceive your mind. There are two ways in which she may be called pygostolos. Either because she adorns her arms and forearms (πυγών), and so is called pygostolos for putting on bracelets, or because she adorns her buttocks (πυγή), by her hind-quarters, with broad girdles done up with tassels and fringes.” Incontrovertible proof, if ever such was required, that arses pre-existed Kim Kardashian.
Don’t let an arse-decorated (πυγόστολος) woman
I love how there is an ancient word specific for “arse-decorated”.
Shoot, I have that book somewhere and now have to find it. Seriously, I have a book by him
Please post any more tips you find for protecting our granaries.
I did find my book. It will take some time reading and finding that section.
Avoid women with decorated buttocks for the time being ;)
Haha, will do!
I’ll try :D
Too late, my granary is lost, curse those decorated buttox
So, no to girls with tramp stamps?
