The poem is controversial due to how it portrays women, saying Greek god Zeus created ten types of women representing animals or an element.
Despite the warning, no student at the University of Reading has complained.
Jeremy Black, professor of history at the University of Exeter, Devon, blasted the move, which followed no complaints.
He added: “It is positively ridiculous and has no place in academia.”
