It was precisely the same sentiment that led the Greeks and Romans to adorn their costly sarcophagi, just as we see them now, with feasts, dances, marriages, the chase, fights of wild beasts, bacchanalians, &c.; thus with representations of the full ardour of life, which they place before us not only in such revels and sports, but also in sensual groups, and even go so far as to represent the sexual intercourse of satyrs and goats.
-Erabat pentsamendu bera zen greko eta erromatarrak beren sarkofago baliotsuak jai, dantza, eztei, ehiza, animali borroka, bakanal, bizi-bulkada indartsuenen aurkezpenekin apaintzera bultzatzen zituena, oraindik ikusten ditugunez, eta ez bakarrik horrelako plazentzietan, baizik talde gozamenezkoetan eta are satiro eta ahuntzen estalketetan ere bai.
