Paperback. Zustand: New. Ancient Greece was rich with stories of queer love and gender- fluid identity-but what can these ancient stories tell us about our contemporary world? Tales as old as antiquity - whether the love affair of Achilles and Patroclus, the genderfluid Tiresias, or the infamous Heracles - are still capturing our imaginations thousands of years later.
