Dear Tumblr, come read about ancient lesbians! This is a free anthology of Ancient Greek and Latin works by/about wlw (translated into English), and it’s the first sourcebook specifically dedicated to wlw!
The translations and commentaries are done by queer scholars, but it’s inclusive toward a non-scholarly audience. And the project director hopes that “new creations, texts, films, video, may emerge […] and contribute to forging a new LGBTQI+ mythology that would - finally - not be based on shortcuts and reductive views about women in ancient society” (issue 1 p. 6).
So please come check it out and then make a bunch of art or stories about it (and show us!)
