Officials at the University of Reading cut several lines from the 2,000-year-old Types Of Women, by Semonides of Amorgos, which is taught to first-year classics students.

The decision was made on the grounds that the words could 'potentially trigger' distress – even though no student had complained.

Jeremy Black, emeritus professor of history at the University of Exeter, said: 'This is beyond naive.

'It is positively ridiculous and has no place in academia.
