What Made You Ugly In The Ancient World?

  • Sumário

  • When we think about Greek and Roman beauty, we think of marble statues of huge men with tiny...feet.


    But what did it mean to be a beautiful woman? What role did their ideas of ugliness play in these ideas? And how did Christianity throw a curveball in all of this?


    Taking us back to this world is Caroline Vout, author of Exposed: The Greek and Roman Body, to give us a learned glimpse beneath the togas.


    This episode was edited by Tom Delargy. The producer was Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Charlotte Long.
