Same-Sex Desire and Love in Greco-Roman Antiquity and in the Classical Tradition of the West (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In ancient times, the Greek god Eros personified both heterosexual and homosexual attractions. Same-Sex Desire and Love in Greco-Roman Antiquity and in Classical Tradition of the West explores the homosexual side of the vanished civilizations of Greece and Rome, and the resulting influence on the Classical tradition of the West. Respected scholars clearly present evidence that shows the extensive nature of homoeroticism and homosexuality in the Classical world. Iconography such as vase decoration and carved gemstones is presented in photographs, and the text includes an examination of a wide selection of literature of the times with an eye to opening new vistas for future study.

Note: The Haworth Press, Inc., will be proceeding with publication of a re-edited version of Same-Sex Desire and Love in Greco-Roman Antiquity and in the Classical Tradition of the West. This version will not include Dr. Bruce Rind's chapter titled Pederasty: An Integration of Cross-Cultural, Cross-Species, and Empirical Data.

It is the intention of the Press to publish a future volume (title and publication date to be announced) which will examine the controversial issues surrounding research on adult-adolescent sexuality in a fully-framed context from as many perspectives as possible, including Dr. Rind's and those of his critics.
