I'm also noticing that putting your penis in an ox rather than vice versa has no punishment.

Presumably the theory is that you have proven your worth by not promptly dying horribly.

Smaller, less manly dicks. If you get hosed by a mule, you will KNOW you were hosed.

People seem to be interested in Hittite sex laws, so here's the whole section about doing the drat thing:

quote:

187. If a man have intercourse with a cow, it is a capital crime, he shall die. They shall lead him to the king's hall. But the king may kill him, the king may grant him his life. But he shall not approach the king.

188. If a man have intercourse with his own mother, it is a capital crime, he shall die. If a man have intercourse with a daughter, it is a capital crime, he shall die. If a man have intercourse with a son, it is a capital crime, he shall die.

190. If a man and a woman come willingly, as men and women, and have intercourse, there shall be no punishment. And if a man have intercourse with his stepmother, there shall be no punishment; except if his father is living, it is a capital crime, the son shall die.

191. If a free man picks up now this woman, now that one, now in this country, then in that country, there shall be no punishment if they came together sexually willingly.

192. If the husband of a woman die, his wife may take her husband's patrimony.

194. If a free man pick up female slaves, now one, now another, there is no punishment for intercourse. If brothers sleep with a free woman, together, or one after the other, there is no punishment. If father and son sleep with a female slave or harlot, together, or one after the other, there is no punishment.

195. If a man sleep with the wife of his brother, while his brother is living, it is a capital crime, he shall die. If a man have taken a free woman, then have intercourse also with her daughter, it is a capital crime, he shall die. If he have taken her daughter, then have intercourse with her mother or her sister, it is a capital crime, he shall die.

197. If a man rape a woman in the mountain, it is the man's wrong, he shall die. But if he rape her in the house, it is the woman's fault, the woman shall die. If the husband find them and then kill them, there is no punishing the husband.

The next part is the one I've already quoted. Some of that is really progressive, some is not, and some is just a little weird.

It's definitely men. However, having legislation that says that any man and any woman can have sex as long as both consent and a woman can inherit property is way more progressive than many Western European law codes 3000 years later.

this feels very much like something where the king, or some lower-level lawgiver, would make a somewhat arbitrary judgment on edge cases present in the original law, and that particular edge case would then be recorded straight into the code rather than as a separate body like modern judicial precedent is

so king A says "we're gonna kill pigfuckers" and then someone says "oh yeah? how about dogfuckers, like john over there" and the king says "yeah them too!!"

king A dies, king B is satisfied with these rules until his best friend is brought before the court on charges of being a horsefucker, with the accusers reasoning that this is a logical extension of the "pig and also dog fucker law", but he's not executing his buddy, so he says horses are fine, and then the accusers say "well actually there was also a mule" so mules also end up exempt. then he promptly dies and king C take over. C doesn't want his dad's creepy friend around anymore, so he says that even though the creepy horse guy wasn't executed, he's still not allowed around the king.

king C then ends up presiding over a case where some poor farmer was raped by an ox, and the farmer's neighbor tries to get him executed under this increasingly complicated law so he can grab the farmer's land. king C thinks that idea is extremely stupid so now this scenario gets written into the law as specifically unpunishable, so that nobody tries again.

Nah, she can grab her husband. It's the other dude's balls she can't grab.

In UK, USA and Australia we have the saying "teach you grandma to suck eggs" which is lame. Some googling into it seems the Scots have a similar saying "teach your father to get bairns (children)" Which I think is better.

What's the deal with the hittites? From memory they were the first people from the steppes to travel south down into the middle east, is that correct? Were they early indo-euro aryans (of the language and culture type? Probably way off but it's been years since I've read anything about their origins)

I can't answer much, but yes they spoke an indo-european language. Their whole family branch is sadly extinct. Or happily since they were apparently a nation of nasty rear end horsefuckers.
