Has there been any serious research into 700 BCE buttock decorating? Asking for a friend.

They "are totally not incels, you just don't know them, they go to a different planet, they abduct me on the regular, so much you wouldn't believe, all the probes" ...

Zeus can find what?? Leaving out crucial information here!

What can't you read‽ Zeus can find 70!
Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
I doubt he can find 1.198 × 10^100^

Bruh is a god, I think he'll manage.
Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 2y
Nah it's Zeus, he'll say "fuck it" after not too long.

70 what?
Zagorath@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 2y
Just 70, silly! Come on, get with the programme!
Aceticon@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
From the whole paragraph, that would be 70 sons.
Makes sense as Zeus was well known for his affairs with mortal women using various disguises.

I’m wondering if Hesiod was referring to jewelry, fancy clothes, or tattoos.

Butt plugs. The kind with the jewels. Or tails.

Something something sparta stuffing a fox under their tunic, I don't remember how it goes.

What kind of buttock decoration methods did they even have in 700bc?
Kolanaki@yiffit.net · 7 pts · 2y
Grain.

The sacred texts! What did they say?
troglodytis@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 2y
The words are ancient and clear: never trust a big butt and a smile.
ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works · 17 pts · 2y
I always interpreted this as a willful mistranslation considering what a granary looks like.

I think that's how they said "gold digger" ~2700 years ago

Hesiod, Works and Days (370) or 373. Also Wikipedia.

Is grain code for seed?
larvyde@sh.itjust.works · 22 pts · 2y
Back in the day being rich means owning lots of land and harvesting lots of crops from it. Grain means money.
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 2y
I don't think decorated butt means it's a big butt
fibojoly@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 2y
Watch out! She's after your seed!

Wait a second.... were there even buttocks in 700 BC?
