“ Sostiene el físico David Deutsch que los humanos no somos todavía inmortales porque Atenas perdió la guerra del Peloponeso. ”

“ Εὐρώπης τὸ φίλημα, καὶ ἢν ἄχρι χείλεος ἔλθῃ,
ἡδύ γε, κἂν ψαύσῃ μοῦνον ἄκρου στόματος·
ψαύει δ’ οὐκ ἄκροις τοῖς χείλεσιν, ἀλλ’ ἐρίσασα
τὸ στόμα τὴν ψυχὴν ἐξ ὀνύχων ἀνάγει. ”

Ancient Greece and Rome: Tattoos as Marks of Ownership and Criminality.
The Greeks learned tattooing from the Persians who, as Herodotus informs us, would tattoo slaves, prisoners of war, and even Hellespont with the name or mark of Xerxes. While tattoos sometimes served as a way to transmit secret messages across enemy lines, Herodotus notes that the Greeks typically associated voluntary tattooing with barbarians, such as the Thracian (Maenads) women who were believed to have murdered Orpheus for his homosexual interest in their husbands. Herodotus was the first to use the root “stig” as in the pejorative “stigma” to refer to tattoos as a mark (estichthai) or a “pricking.” Other Greek writers, such as Xenophon, Aristophanes, Aelius Aristides, Aeschines, and Herodus also mention tattoos in a punitive sense (Jones 2000). Plato, for example, argues that a temple robber should have his offense marked on his hands and forehead, and the philosopher Bion of Borysthenes (325-246 B.C.) claims that his father, a freed slave, had “instead of a face, a document” due to the number of tattoos on his face. ”
