Pierre Louÿs’ Ancient Manners (Les Chansons de Bilitis) is a lush and provocative exploration of love, sensuality, and classical beauty, inspired by ancient Greece. Originally presented as a collection of translated poems from a lost Greek poetess, Bilitis, Louÿs’ work is in fact a masterful literary hoax—an original creation infused with the spirit of Sapphic poetry. Rich in lyrical elegance and evocative imagery, Ancient Manners celebrates themes of passion, desire, and feminine experience, making it a timeless classic of erotic literature.

Description

Ancient Manners (Les Chansons de Bilitis) is a collection of poetic prose by Pierre Louÿs, originally published in 1894. Framed as the lost works of Bilitis, an imagined contemporary of Sappho, the book follows her life through three distinct phases: her youthful awakening in Pamphylia, her passionate experiences in Mytilene alongside Sappho, and her later years as a courtesan in Cyprus. Each section is rich with sensuality, longing, and intimate reflection, exploring themes of love, desire, and the fleeting nature of human connection.

Though presented as an ancient text, Ancient Manners is an original creation by Louÿs, blending historical imagination with lyrical storytelling. With its evocative style and daring themes, the book remains a celebrated and provocative work of erotic literature, capturing the spirit of classical antiquity and the enduring power of passion.
