The most significant basic bibliography on homosexuality in ancient Greece and Rome has been translated into modern, explicit English and compiled for the first time in this comprehensive handbook. Covering an extensive period - from the earliest Greek texts of the late 7th century BC to Greco-Roman texts of the 3rd and 4th centuries AD - the volume includes well-known works by Plato, Sappho, Aeschines, Catullus, and Juvenal, as well as lesser-known but highly relevant and interesting texts such as graffiti, comedic excerpts, magical papyri, medical treatises, and selected artistic evidence. These translated texts, in collaboration with the valuable introductions by Thomas K. Hubbard, clearly show that there was no more consensus on homosexuality in ancient Greece and Rome than there is today. The material is organized by period and by genre, allowing readers to examine chronological developments in both Greece and Rome. Each text is accompanied by a brief introduction that places it chronologically and, where necessary, discusses its position within a larger work. The chapter introductions discuss questions of gender and the ideological significance of the texts, while Hubbard's general introduction to the volume examines issues such as sexual orientation in antiquity, moral judgments, class and ideology, and lesbianism. With its broad, unjustified, and fully informed presentation, this unique anthology offers an essential perspective on homosexuality in classical antiquity.
