Queer Heroes of Myth & Legend
Queer Heroes of Myth and Legend
A celebration of gay gods, sapphic saints and queerness through the ages
DAN JONES
Featuring 50 profiles and select B&W illustrated portraits, Queer Heroes of Myth & Legend is a celebration of gay gods and goddesses, sapphic saints, and lesbians of legend.
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.
Through Dan Jones's witty, upbeat style, be captivated by stories of forbidden love like Patroclus & Achilles and Iphis & Ianthe, join the muscle-worshipping cult of Antinous, meet pot smoking Amazons, sing the songs of Sappho, and discover gay male army, the Sacred Band of Thebes.
And from modern pop-culture, head to Fire Island to meet Maurice Sendak's Wild Things, meet the many versions of Virginia Woolf's Orlando, gaymer deity Zelda, and learn more about 90s fan obsessions Xena: Warrior Princess and Buffy the Vampire Slayer through to Neil Gaiman's American Gods, Game of Thrones, 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.
