Resumen de la editorial
'This is an excellent book on an important subject.' -- Oswyn Murray LITERARY REVIEW 'a picture of sexuality among the ancient Greeks which is both familiar in some respects and radically new... with witty diversions... quite an achievement' -- Joan Smith THE INDEPENDENT 'an impressive study stuffed with juicy tidbits and meaty detail' BOYZ 'a long haul over strange terrain, spiky with fragments and pulsating with beautiful ghosts... massive work of research, reflection and surprise' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'a highly erudite work of social and cultural history, astonishingly wide-ranging... an extraordinary achievement, ranging far and wide... unpredictable and lateral-thinking... superb...' -- Oliver Taplin THE GUARDIAN 'Massively informed and informative ... vital and outstanding study.' THE SPECTATOR 'James Davidson's revisionist account emerges with winning charm from the bloodshed... a landmark in gay studies' -- Tom Cameron TIME OUT 'will be read by many people, and I predict a riot... real brilliance, and it is written throughout with flair and passion' -- Simon Goldhill THES 'fascinating, funny, decidedly comprehensive... entertaining and discursive' GAY COMMUNITY NEWS 'By turns lyrical, analytic and militant, this is a magnificently personal and self-reflexive book...' -- Catharine Edwards TLS 'Davidson, with his wit, range and learning is able to admit honestly the limitations of historical understanding, while never being less than fascinating.' -- Christopher Hart THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY 'provocative and enthralling... fascinating and perplexing.'
