The sexual depictions, the real point 2, I wanted to bring, is "its an artistic rendition of prevailing sexual practices of the society". Imagine this. A mixed, advanced the then society that knows no morality like the Greek did. Total incest and total no holds barred when it comes to sex. It leads to violent crimes and rapes. Mayhem. Its a capitalistic rich society that knows no morality, except perhaps to preach morality on to others. Society bleeds and suffers. That must give rise to creativity that tries to steer the society out of such malice and dangers. The only way the psyche of vast majority of society members that indulges in violent sexual imagery is only by rendition of such acts and fantasy into artistic glory. First off it takes away the energy, action, effort, indulgence fro the proponents of idle adherents of sexual actions, towards artistic indulgence. A stone artifact takes you lets say 10 years, you have been corrected into a better citizen, than indulging in addictions of sex and violence. The kingdom found it more educating, correcting and rewarding towards its citizens the whole idea of making sexual imagery into walls of temples. We see them now as temples, but they were not.
