Had a vague thought in the bath today about something for one of my WIPs. Story is centred around two characters who are effectively immortal and one of them is put in a lot of pain and starts to swear... and it occured to me that an immortal need not necessarily swear in good old fashioned four letter anglo saxon.
So, I am looking for swear words that may have been used by older cultures - Mesopotamia, Babylonia, Persia, classical Greece and Rome, Egypt, etc. Anything, from any time period and any part of the world. Partly this is interest but I also do want to beef up my character's profane lexicon
