Authenticity?[edit]

"It was first published by the German classicist Friedrich Karl Forberg in 1824 in Latin and Greek as a commentary to Antonii Panormitae Hermaphroditus, an erotic poem sequence in renaissance Latin Hermaphroditus by Antonio Beccadelli..."

It sounds like the source of this text and illustrations wasn't ancient Roman and Greek sources but a document from the Renaissance. Was this just eroticism projected on to a past culture? Or were their authentic sources from a millennium or two ago? Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:14, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
