THE ERA of sex robots and futuristic brothels where customers welcome and serve anthropomorphic in every anatomical detail of a replica, seems to be in the edge of science fiction and modern technological Reality, the ancient Greeks, however, were the first to have moved into erotic relationships with human models. In her new book "Gods and Robots" , the historian Adrienne Mayor reveals how old the idea of Sexbot really is. At least in the form of a statue that acquires human and sexual status.
The most famous classical example of a statue that came alive with the intercession of the "divine Order" is of course in the myth of Pygmalion who fell in love with the bare ivory statue he had created, frustrated by vulgarity (and apparently, The rejection) of the actual women according to the myth's version of the "Metamorphoses" of the ovidius.
The naked ivory Virgin makes him "burned by passion" until he is led to the Temple of Aphrodite asking from the goddess to bring in life the statue of the ideal woman he created. Returning home he finds shocked that his wish has been granted and the statue has acquired human consciousness but mainly human flesh that finally responds to his kisses and caresses after he has been "blushing by modesty".
Although the myth of Pygmalion has been presented in modern times mainly as a romantic love story of type "My Fair Lady", the original version is a disturbing and eerie record of one of the first cases of erotic intercourse with "replica" In the history of the West.
The Ivory made erotic Companion of Pygmalion was however not the only statue of the name – real or fiction – in antiquity that caused erotic lust for those who had it. There was a long tradition of "statues" and one of the most characteristic cases of a full sculpture that attracted the lust of many men was the statue of Aphrodite of Knidou, the work of Praxiteles who was in the homonymous ancient Greek city of minor Asian. According to the relevant recordings, at night the men flocked to the altar and left the traces of their erotic stimulation on the marble thighs of the natural size statue.
The most numerous such tales of "statues" in antiquity were the protagonists of men who fell in love with female statues, but there were also the inverse cases. Like the tragic history of Laoameia (elsewhere referred to as polygifts), the widow of Proesilau who lost his life in the Trojan War. The couple were newlyweds on the day that Proesperos started the campaign, and Laoamies waiting for him (in vain) to return, finds solace in a natural-sized waxy effigy of her husband, who was made "for love, not for war".
There are many similar descriptions of love (heterosexual and homosexual) for statues, as they result from dozens of ancient Greek and Latin sources. The historian E. R. Truitt calls these stories "parables for the Power of mimetic creation" and the ways that one can be lost "confusing the natural with the artificial". The technological advances in the creation of anatomically realistic "SEC dolls " By silicone and cyber-robots of sex with artificial intelligence functions, are nothing but the evolution of an ancient Paraphilia: the "statue-Friendship" already takes (and in the near future More) The modern form of "robotofriendship"
