| Summary | "Le Baiser en Grèce" by Raoul Vèze is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The text explores the cultural significance of kissing in ancient Greek society, delving into various themes such as marital customs, the roles of courtesans, and the philosophical implications surrounding the act of kissing. Through vivid illustrations and detailed descriptions, it aims to provide an engaging perspective on the intimate practices of the time, reflecting the complexities and contradictions of human relationships. The opening of the text introduces the concept of the "conjugal kiss" and establishes a framework for discussing the roles of women in ancient Greece, categorized as wives, concubines, and courtesans. It highlights the importance of the marital union focused on procreation, using historical references to illustrate how women were perceived as essential for lineage and domestic stability. The chapter touches on various social customs, including marital rights, education of young girls, and societal attitudes towards love and intimacy, all while setting the stage for the broader exploration of kissing as both a physical act and a social contract within Greek culture.
