Even today, only a few narratives are widely known: the wild romance of Achilles and Patroclus; the yearning love of Sappho's lyrics; and the three genders introduced in Plato's \u003ci\u003eSymposium\u003c\/i\u003e. Yet there is a rich literary tradition of queer Greek and Roman love that extends far beyond the prudish translations of these familiar handful of stories. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003e300,000 Kisses\u003c\/i\u003e, award-winning poet Seán Hewitt and renowned designer Luke Edward Hall collect these stories--including some of the most beautiful and moving in the classical canon--and bring them to vivid life. Alongside celebrated works by Homer, Sappho, Ovid and Catullus, they include a wide range of rarely anthologized sources: raunchy poems, thoughtful dialogues, philosophical treatises, and even a graffiti text salvaged from the ruins of Pompeii. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough Hewitt's contemporary translations and Hall's vibrant illustrations, we encounter relationships that are by turns heartfelt and nourishing, unrequited and lustful, toxic and crude, tender and fulfilling. A groundbreaking anthology that seeks to change the way we see the ancient world, \u003ci\u003e300,000 Kisses \u003c\/i\u003eis a fascinating journey through love in all its forms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarkson Potter Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593582442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs","brand":"Se\u0026#225;n Hewitt, Luke Edward Hall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43084102434997,"sku":"9780593582442","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_cb35f034-cf7a-4edc-a31b-34974c615ef2.jpg?v=1692110419","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/300000-kisses-tales-of-queer-love-from-the-ancient-world-9780593582442","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
