Pierre Louys was acclaimed not alone for his exquisite prose, but for his genius in portraying the virtues and sins that all mankind is heir to.

His fame as one of the foremost historians of pre-Christian moralities is especially clear in the unforgettable masterpiece, APHRODITE - the story of pagan romance, of slave-girl and mistress, Hellenic abandonment and Grecian virtues.
