> Literature only happened in agricultural societies and mostly by the elites. How far are you going back now? I'm not for groping in the mists of pre-history, when we can read literary descriptions from the last 500 years. That is a more relatable past than the little we can know from ancient days. > If you were the elite in any time your life is much better than typical. Yes, and that is just as true today.
