Steeped in honey Juventius your golden eyes and as sweet too when I press my lips to them -
three hundred thousand kisses is not close to enough 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.
