Description

Greek Homosexuality by K. J. Dover is an academic milestone that continues to be of major importance for students and scholars of gender studies. This new release, featuring two specially commissioned forewords assessing the author's legacy and the place of his text within modern studies of gender in the ancient world, offers a fresh perspective on the understanding of homosexuality in ancient Greece. Dover explores a vast array of material and textual evidence to reach provocative conclusions about this complex topic. The book remains a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the historical context of same-sex relationships in ancient Greek society. Published in 2016, this updated edition includes an epilogue by the author reflecting on the impact of his work, providing insight into the enduring relevance of Dover's research.
