Eros on the Nile

Desire, symbolism, and daily life converge in Eros on the Nile, as Karol My?liwiec explores sexuality in ancient Egypt through art, myth, and archaeological evidence.

Drawing on temple carvings, texts, and material culture, the book reveals a world where eroticism was openly embedded in both the sacred and the ordinary, offering a perspective that feels at once distant and strikingly unrestrained compared to later traditions.
