Le sein dans l’Antiquité grecque : essai de cartographie intime et olfactive du corps
Résumé
Breasts, especially those of women, but also men, receive particular attentions; they are often scented or exhale of themselves a plaisant smell. The perfume is an artificial substance which glorifies the body and makes it recognizable. Scented naturally or artificially, the breasts reveal intention of the feelings, they are places of the intimacy.
