Jason and The Argonauts
The Mossynoeci are mentioned in Apollonius of Rhodes's (third century BCE in Alexandria) epic novel The Voyage of Argo. In Book 2: Onward to Colchis, he writes, "These people have their own ideas of what is right and proper. What we do as a rule openly in town or market-place they do at home; and what we do in the privacy of our houses they do out of doors in the open street, and nobody thinks the worst of them. Even the sexual act puts no one to blush in this community. On the contrary, like swine in the fields, they lie down on the ground in promiscuous intercourse and are not at all disconcerted by the presence of others. Then again, their king sits in loftiest hut of all to dispense justice to his numerous subjects. But if the poor man happens to make a mistake in his findings, they lock him up and give him nothing to eat for the rest of the day."
This suggests two things, first the Ancient Greeks of Alexandria were fond of food and open eating, and second that they had sex in private. The Mossynoeci are called "savage" in line 1117. Anthropological studies conducted by Dr. Seth Malios have shown that cultures in which food is scarce, people have more open sex, but dream of food. Whereas cultures in which food is abundant, sex is more taboo, and people yet dream of sex.
