Yass, publishing milestone:

My Forgotten Greek and Roman Myths book is advertised with the CW "Non-traditional content." 😂

(Context: According to a new Hungarian law, any book containing LGBT+ content has to be labeled as "non-traditional". Including the famously traditionally straight Ancient Greeks, apparently.)

Dionysos and Ampelos

I think this is the most beautiful (even if tragic) love story in Greek mythology. Nonnus tells it in detail. The young Satyr Ampelos is Dionysos' first love. When he dies in an accident, Dionysos gireves for him so deeply that he is allowed to turn into the fist vine instead of going to the Underworld. They stay together, and Ampelos makes Dionysos who he is - god of wine and life.

When Apollo takes revenge for the death of his son Asclepius, he is exiled to serve a mortal man for a year. He serves King Admetos, and falls in love with him. After his year of service he helps Admetos win his wife Alkestis - another great Greek love story.

My point is, this is probably the only story of unrequited love about Apollo where he unselfishly helps his beloved, instead of assault or revenge.

Eurybarus and the Lamia

This is a classic "dashing hero saves sacrificial virgin from dragon" type story, except gay.
When Delphi is threatened by a Lamia, the locals decide to sacrifice a young man named Alcyoneus to the monster. However, a hero named Eurybaros happens to pass by, sees the youth, and falls in love with him. He takes his place, kills the monster, saves the city. Happy end.

Kyknos is a vain and curel prince who likes to set impossible tasks for his lovers. Eventually everyone leaves him except for Phylius. He's a bit of a himbo, good-natured and naive. He fulfills all the impossible quests with the help of the deified Herakles.

Eventually Herakles sends him a message saying he deserves better, and Phylius leaves Kyknos for good.

Yay for getting out of toxic relationships :D

9/ Also, ich finde schon, dass die Aktivist*in rechts sich ein bisschen bunter hätte anziehen können, damit sie im Vergleich zu dem bunten Banner nicht so abfällt.

Antoninus Liberalis also mentions that on Crete people worshiped Leto the Grafter, a goddess who changed a woman into a man by "grafting organs on him". Just saying.

So was anyone going to tell me that the "sacrificial virgin rescued from dragon by dashing hero" story existed as a gay love story in ancient times, or was I supposed to just find out from Antoninus Liberalis myself?...

(Alcyoneus and Eurybarus, fyi)

Hey,

I'm looking for Queer BIPOC artists to commission for cover art (multiple covers, multiple artists). This would be a paid gig.

Strict no AI "generated" art policy.

Are there tags, sites that I should be looking at?

My partner and I have talked about the importance of hope and also the importance of not letting worry stagnate.

What I mean by that:

If you truly believe that there is no hope in the US, then that should inform your next steps. Be they organizing, working on leaving the country, or getting ready to go live in the woods for a few decades.

I won't invalidate your fears about this country. Instead: if that's your position, how does that inform your response?
