>reading Plato

>reading Homer
>god damn oil is everywhere

why were the greeks so oily?
>>
>>7860949
Because oil was a tradeable commodity back then, importante for economy. Also, because they covered their muscular bodies in oil to battle and discuss philosophy.
>>
>>7860949
Plenty of oil in the bible too (iirc).
Is it just a mediterrenean thing?
>>
>>7860975
Yes, olive trees grow there.

Because lube didn't exist then and boipucci 'aint gonna fuck itself!
>>
>>7860975
what are some more ancient books that were very oily?
>>
>>7860949
oil was equated to luxury, comparable in some ways to perfume today.

idk about the greeks specifically but im just completely assuming right now that roman customs like covering parts of the body with oil before and during dinner were in a way present in the greek world.

a major Mediterranean crop and a big greek export

They used to clean themselves by covering their bodies with oil and then scrapping the skin with a tool called a strigil.

Well it wasn't counter culture when they did it or for a couple thousand years after they did it.

>>7860949
Well, that would because the greeks were known for being greasy.

You posted an article from a clickbait pop-sci magazine that doesn't give a shit about history or religion (because, let's be honest, both of those things are so racist and sexist) except when it's related to WEED and like WEED is like only illegal now because like the white man has like illegalitized it dude.

The link is not important or the only source for that theory. we know cannabis was recognized as a medicine in china thousands of years go. We know some of the founding fathers of the usa grew cannabis. It was not counter culture until it was made illegal by some humans regardless of skin color. you should try to stop blaming 'white people' because it was specific people who made it illegal and people of all colors have upheld the prohibition on drugs.
But people who think DUDE WEED LMAO are usually thinking in memes and so they like to divide humans up into colors to make it easier to meme about it. You must think The Big Bang Theory tv show is the height of comedy huh?
