Just imagine those chaste monks reading about gods who came to earth fuck several women and started all kinds of wars because of pussy and shiet. Speaking of which:
>Anna Komnene (Greek: Ἄννα Κομνηνή, romanized: Ánna Komnēnḗ; 1 December 1083 – 1153), commonly Latinized as Anna Comnena, was a Byzantine princess and author of the Alexiad, an account of the reign of her father, the Byzantine emperor, Alexios I Komnenos. The Alexiad is the most important primary source of Byzantine history of the late 11th and early 12th centuries. Although she is best known as the author of the Alexiad, Anna played an important part in the politics of the time and attempted to depose her brother, John II Komnenos, as emperor and seize the throne herself>Anna was educated in Greek history, mathematics, science and philosophy. She was recognized for her erudition by the medieval scholar Niketas Coniates, who wrote that Anna "was a fervent devotee of philosophy, the queen of all sciences and versed in all fields". Modern historian Carolyn L. Connor states that "education is central to Anna's self-definition". Anna's conception of her own education appears in her will, which she thanks her parents for allowing her to obtain it. This testament contrasts with a funeral speech about Anna given by contemporary Jorge Tornicio in which he claims that she was forced to read ancient poetry - such as Homer's "Odyssey" - in secret because her parents did not approve of the way she dealt with the Paganism and other "dangerous things", "harmful" to men and "excessively insidious" to women. Torrício goes on to say that Anna "embraced the fragility of her soul" and studied poetry "taking care not to be discovered by her parents"
