Ancient Fragrant Lore: the Embrace of the
Aegean (Part 2)
by: Elena Vosnaki
"He takes his bath in a large golden bathtub first,
then he applies an Egyptian unguent to his feet,
and oil of fragrant palm on his chest;
his two arms and his back are scented with an essence of mint,
marjoram is used on hair and brow
and thyme invigorates his weakened knees."
—Antiphanes, 4th century BC.
