Even today, only a few narratives are widely known: the wild romance of Achilles and Patroclus; the yearning love of Sappho's lyrics; and the three genders introduced in Plato's \u003ci\u003eSymposium\u003c\/i\u003e. Yet there is a rich literary tradition of queer Greek and Roman love that extends far beyond the prudish translations of these familiar handful of stories. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003e300,000 Kisses\u003c\/i\u003e, award-winning poet Seán Hewitt and renowned designer Luke Edward Hall collect these stories--including some of the most beautiful and moving in the classical canon--and bring them to vivid life. Alongside celebrated works by Homer, Sappho, Ovid and Catullus, they include a wide range of rarely anthologized sources: raunchy poems, thoughtful dialogues, philosophical treatises, and even a graffiti text salvaged from the ruins of Pompeii. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough Hewitt's contemporary translations and Hall's vibrant illustrations, we encounter relationships that are by turns heartfelt and nourishing, unrequited and lustful, toxic and crude, tender and fulfilling. A groundbreaking anthology that seeks to change the way we see the ancient world, \u003ci\u003e300,000 Kisses \u003c\/i\u003eis a fascinating journey through love in all its forms.","brand":"Clarkson Potter Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48065598619837,"sku":"BS-TC0-582442","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/9767\/2637\/files\/9780593582442-HD.jpg?v=1786978952","url":"https:\/\/boundigo.com\/products\/300-000-kisses-tales-of-queer-love-from-the-ancient-world","provider":"Boundigo Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
