Marcus Aurelius was a book reader. George Washington liked to dance. Eisenhower painted landscapes. If such men would fail today's 'bro code' that should lead us to question the code; what we need is more honest, earnest, sometimes vulnerable men, not more empty machismo.

Can you write about masculinity in the Greek world without also discussing unfreedom? Which of the masculine attributes can a male slave have?
