“The reason a person who believes he sees a
woman when in reality he is looking at a gourd is called
crazy is because this is something beyond usual
experience, [...]. However, when a person thinks
his wife, who is enjoyed by many, to be an ever-faithful
Penelope, he is not called insane at all, because people know that this is a common thing in marriage.”
Desiderius Erasmus, The Praise of Folly
