Description
A landmark illustrated anthology of queer Ancient Greek and Roman love stories.
For centuries, evidence of queer love in the ancient world was ignored or suppressed. Even today, only a few, famous narratives are widely known—yet there's a rich literary tradition of Greek and Roman love that extends far beyond this handful of stories.
Here, the poet Seán Hewitt and painter Luke Edward Hall collect together, for the first time, forty of the most exhilarating queer tales in the classical canon and bring them newly to life.
A ground-breaking anthology that changes the way we see the ancient world—and invites us to reflect on the puritanism of our own—300,000 Kisses is a riotous celebration of desire in all its forms.

Requested a price match on a weekend day expecting to hear back on the Monday, but I got a response from Dylan just a few hours later, put through my order and the books were here Tuesday! Super fast and friendly service, love supporting smaller NZ businesses! Thanks to Heroes Dylan and Jordan for making my book-buying experience a breeze 😄
