LOVERS' LEGENDS THE GAY GREEK MYTHS; Reviewed by Elizabeth Millard (original) (raw)

ForeWord Reviews, 2002

Abstract

After a smattering of mythology in childhood, usually introduced through Disney vehicles like Hercules, some formal study of the ancient tales is undertaken in high school. Students reluctantly throw Edith Hamilton’s Mythology into their backpacks and try to memorize the differences between Atreus and Aeneas. Perhaps in the future, students won’t work so hard to keep the gods straight because, well, they weren’t. In Calimach’s engrossing work on the sexual details that Hamilton left out, the gods are freshly illuminated and their stories made richer and more homoerotic.
