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.
