Description
A landmark anthology of queer Greek and Roman love stories, 300,000 Kisses brings to life a rich literary tradition that has been largely overlooked. Seán Hewitt and Luke Edward Hall collect and beautifully illustrate a wide range of stories, including poems, dialogues, philosophical treatises, and even a graffiti text, to create a fascinating journey through love in all its forms. Through contemporary translations and vibrant illustrations, Hewitt and Hall reveal relationships that are by turns heartfelt and nourishing, unrequited and lustful, toxic and crude, tender and fulfilling. This groundbreaking anthology seeks to change the way we see the ancient world, offering a fresh perspective on a period often associated with prudish translations. By exploring the lesser-known stories of queer love in ancient Greece and Rome, 300,000 Kisses offers a unique and captivating insight into the complexities of human desire and connection.
