Description
This mini-series-within-a-series will be a deep dive into queer history in ancient Greece and Rome--starting with queer women.
Because how could we do a season about sex and sex magic without talking about the magical provenance of those who fell outside the accepted binary?
Women who loved other women were gender rebels in the ancient world. They challenged the gender binary in some of the most basic and fundamental ways—ways that the ancient Greeks and Romans found profoundly destabilizing.

Don’t we all??? Welcome to Saturnalia. by Ancient History Fangirl
