Greek Homosexuality (book)

Greek Homosexuality (book)

Greek Homosexuality is the first English-language book of the 20th century to address the topic of same-sex relations in Ancient Greece. A scholarly work by Kenneth Dover published in 1978, it discusses the practices and attitudes of the Ancient Greeks toward homosexuality, based on archaic and classical archaeological and literary sources.

The books 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.
