Description:

In this book, the author surveys attitudes in the ancient Mediterranean world toward homoeroticism, that is, same-sex erotic relationships. Analyzing documents from Mesopotamia, Israel, Greece, Rome, rabbinic Judaism, and the earliest churches, he concisely introduces the relevant sources and their historical contexts in a readable way.
