Greek Homosexuality

Über

Greek Homosexuality is a 1978 book about homosexuality in ancient Greece by Kenneth Dover, the first modern scholarly work on the subject. Dover uses archaic and classical archaeological and literary sources to discuss ancient Greek sexual behavior and attitudes. The book's major sections address the iconography of vase paintings, the speeches in the law courts, and the comedies of Aristophanes. Dover also devotes smaller sections to the content of other literary and philosophical source texts.
