Pudenda
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
|
"The common stereotype that the Greco-Roman world had no sense of shame is contradicted by the etymology of the Latin word pudendum and the Greek term aidoion and their corresponding deities Pudicitia and Aidos. The Latin term pudendum and the Greek term αιδοίον (aidoion) for the genitals literally mean "shameful thing"."--Sholem Stein |
