I though I would unwind one evening this weekend with a museum night at the MET.
But yet I could not escape the images of BDSM and Female Supremacy. After picking up their seasonal program, I saw the add for the exhibition below.
Seeing that I had some personal interests analogous to the great philosopher Aristotle, I looked up the story of "Aristotle and Phyllis":
"The story of Aristotle and Phyllis is a popular medieval cautionary tale about lust and female power, featuring the philosopher Aristotle, tutor to Alexander the Great, being seduced by Phyllis (Alexander's mistress) and made to act like a horse for her amusement, proving that even the wisest man can fall victim to desire, a theme depicted widely in medieval art like tapestries and sculptures."
Sound Familiar?
