Did romance exist before the rise of Abrahamic religions

It existed enough to lead into Troyan War.

did romance exist during pagan times?

>>2797541
Greeks certainly had a concept of it

>>2797541
No, however the concept of love, and it's variants like empathy didn't come from abrahamic religions either. They really came about from the enlightenment era, in particular from the German philosophers of the time. This is one of the most uinique features of western civilization.

If one claims that the modern conception of Human Rights is western

is that Eurocentric stance, or just a brutal honest stance?

This is what I know on the topic from an ancient Greek perspective. In theatre there's Menandrus Dyskolos and Perikeiromene, in philosophy Xenophon's and Plato's Symposium, in the Ancient Greek Novel Daphnis and Chloe, Aethiopica and the Ephesian Tale, in poetry Sappho, Anacreon and Archilochos of Paros, in religion the gods Aphrodite, Eros and Pothos, in mythology stories like Hero and Leander, Pyramus and Thisbe and Theseus and Ariadne.

Human rights came from love. Love is a concept unique to western europe from the enlightenment era that does not exist previously or in other cultures around the world. I suggest you read Immanuel Kant and Christian Wolff.

Amazing. When will Germanophiles kill themselves? Haven't you already ruined Europe enough? And America too, now.

Only kebaps disagree with Kant.

>>2800030

Or, just, you know, every rational fucking materialist on the planet.

Why the fuck would kebabs disagree with Kant? Everything he says serves them just as well as it does the Christians--better, probably, since Muslims have no concept of individualism and it's all about the umma.

No wonder Germans import so many Muslims--they're made for each other. Both have deeply-embedded concepts of communism and a cancerous way of thinking about reality.

How could you possibly think this is true? So ridiculous.
