How did the Greeks and Roman perceive rape? How seriously was it taken, and who were seen as its main victims?

Modern readers, used to a discourse which focuses on the question of a woman’s (or man’s) consent to sexual activity and treats an unwilling partner as a victim worthy of sympathy, may find in ancient attitudes much that is disturbing.
