And it just so happens there is evidence that Greece dropped cousin marriage before its Classical Golden Age.https://twitter.com/hbdchick/status/503238414784016385 …
@Glossophiliac75 but, again, they didn't *always* skirt them. see the frankish aristocrats of the 900s-1100s for one example.

@hbdchick E.g. the church promoted monogamous marriage. But we know that pagan Greeks and Romans already had it. -
@Glossophiliac75 ah! but the north europeans had polygamy before they were christian. the church prolly just spread roman ideas northward.

@Glossophiliac75 oh, it did. again, see goody. and all the other medieval historians who agree upon this.
