Today I learned of the tale of Phyllis and #aristotle OMG is my mind racing right now thinking about it! 🥵
Aristotle had an eye for Phyllis. Phyllis would not entertain him unless he allowed her to ride on his back while he was naked & #humiliated. The kings son, Alexander witnessed the event for his education that feminine charms could bend the greatest male intellect.
(Image in prior post of a likeness of Phyllis riding Aristotle.mThese figures were commonly used to remind men not to allow women interfere with their pursuits and woman of how easily men are distracted by the feminine charms)
