The purpose of this study is that how the human sex problems were understood and treated, and what social position and the role of the women were like in ancient greece, the origin of European culture, and the influence of western culture on modern Korean society.
The ancient Greeks gave to the women the roles of the naturally obtained maternity and the prostitution. The most Greek women’s goal and objectives were to be a good mother and serving for her family and husband. In the other hand the ancient Greek men could have prostitutes for pleasure, concubines for making-up his body, and legally wives for descendants and households.
Until 3 century B.C. at least, the marriage was just a joining two families. The marriage of daughter were dependant on the hand of the father. The man of nearest relatives was taken over the father's role when the father was absent. Officially, the dowry system, wedding present, were abolished in 1981, but it is still continuing in recent Greek society. That is because it give a chance of increase of the estate for men and a chance of marriage for women. The other aspect is that it prevent the divorce for the dowry was returned to women’s family when they were divorced by men’s fault. On the other hand, men could rely on concubines instead of divorce. The concubines were free women and most of them were immigrants from other countries.
The prostitution, one of most old profession, were practiced in various ways. Hetairae, especially invited to symposion, were well educated and had good skills. Those hetairae donated large amount of money to the government or shrines to get high social position, and kept relationship with celebrity.
The ancient Greek had generous custom that the love and sex were very natural and free. They thought the life and nature collectively and gave worship to the physical body as the shrine for spirit and soul. As physical body and mind were thought to be inseparable one thing, the sex was expressed and used openly, apart from the conceptual and philosophic consideration. For ancient Greek the eros was the very origin of everything in the world.
