How to be Queer: An Ancient Guide to Sexuality

Long before the modern struggle for equality and acceptance, the ancient Greeks wrote openly about the homosexual love and lust that they experienced in their lives. Author and translator Sarah Nooter has served as professor of classics and theater and performance studies at the University of Chicago and she used that experience to bring us this collection of poems, prose and anecdotes from transformational writers like Homer and Sappho. Nooter offers her extensive knowledge as guidance through the translated texts and has included the original Greek writing on the facing page. This book will benefit both the beginner and the life long scholar who wishes to better understand the LGBTQ+ experience.
