Episodes of exile, murder, drug-taking, wild homosexual orgies and court cases are woven into an original study of a significant theme in European culture. The myth of a homoerotic Mediterranean made a major contribution to general attitudes towards Antiquity, the Renaissance and modern Italy and Greece. 606 $aEuropean literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHomosexuality in literature 607 $aMediterranean Region$xIn literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEuropean literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHomosexuality in literature. 676 $a809.8 676 $a809.93321822 700 $aAldrich$b Robert$f1954,$0913070 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450967203321 996 $aThe seduction of the Mediterranean$92045514 997 $aUNINA
