Queer Heroes of Myth and Legend: A Celebration of Gay Gods, Sapphic Saints, and Queerness...

by Dan Jones - £16.99  Octopus Publishing Group (2023)
hardback    ISBN 13: 9781804190463 | ISBN 10: 1804190462

Hidden in the margins of history books, classical literature, and thousands of years of stories, myths and legends, through to contemporary literature, TV and film, there is a diverse and other-worldly super community of queer heroes to discover, learn from, and celebrate.
 
Be captivated by stories of forbidden love like Patroclus & Achilles (explored in Madeleine Miller’s bestseller Song of Achilles), join the cult of Antinous (inspiration for Oscar Wilde), get down with pansexual god Set in Egyptian myth, and fall for Zimbabwe’s trans God Mawi. And from modern pop-culture, through Dan Jones’s witty, upbeat style, learn more about 90s fan obsessions Xena: Warrior Princess and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Neil Gaiman’s American Gods and the BBC’s Doctor Who.
 
Queer Heroes of Myth & Legend brings to life characters who are romantic, brave, mysterious, and always fantastical. It is a magnificent celebration of queerness through the ages in all its legendary glory.
