Review
This collection of essays on gender and sexual diversity in antiquity showcases a broad range of topics, approaches and time periods. The essays use philosophy, post-humanist theory, film reception, medicine, cross-cultural comparisons, intersectional theory, and rhetoric to tease out new and interesting ideas about sex and gender. Of great interest to anyone teaching a course on this topic.
