" People also kissed the earth for joy on returning to their native land after a lengthened absence, as when Agamemnon returned from the Trojan War Nyrop points out, however, that in modern times the ceremonious kiss of respect " has gone clean out of fashion in the most civilised countries ," and it is only retained in the Church, and that in many cases " the practice would be offensive or ridiculous.

The most common example is the " intense feeling which knits parents to their offspring ," writes Nyrop, but adds that kisses of affection are not only common between parents and children, but also between other members of the same family, which can include those outside the immediate family circle, " everywhere where deep affection unites people.

Nyrop gives a vivid example in the classic love story of Daphnis and Chloe.

Affection can be a cause of kissing " in all ages in grave and solemn moments ," notes Nyrop, " not only among those who love each other, but also as an expression of profound gratitude.

Nyrop writes that " the kiss is the last tender proof of love bestowed on one we have loved, and was believed, in ancient times, to follow mankind to the nether world.

Nyrop notes that the kiss of peace was used as an expression of deep, spiritual devotion in the early Christian Church.

A kiss can also be used to express feelings without an erotic element but can be nonetheless " far deeper and more lasting ," writes Nyrop.

Nyrop notes the poetical stories of the " redeeming power of the kiss are to be found in the literature of many countries, especially, for example, in the Old French Arthurian romances ( Lancelot, Guiglain, Tirant le blanc ) in which the princess is changed by evil arts into a dreadful dragon, and can only resume her human shape in the case of a knight being brave enough to kiss her.

During the Middle Ages, for example, Nyrop points out that it was the custom to " seal the reconciliation and pacification of enemies by a kiss.

Nyrop notes that " as a last act of charity, the image of the Redeemer is handed to the dying or death-condemned to be kissed.

" Kissing the Cross brings blessing and happiness ; people kiss the image of Our Lady and the pictures and statues of saints — not only their pictures, " but even their relics are kissed ," notes Nyrop.

Its use in ancient times was widespread, and Nyrop gives examples: " people threw themselves down on the ground before their rulers, kissed their footprints, literally ' licked the dust ,' as it is termed.

According to Nyrop, up until the 20th century, " it seldom or never takes place between men, with the exception, however, of royal personages ," although he notes that in former times the " friendly kiss was very common with us between man and man as well as between persons of opposite sexes.
