Ten homosexual couples in Greek Mythology

Greek mythology, with its rich erotic diversity, does not put a limit on lust. It does not adjudicate, it does not condemn, it does not banish. On the contrary, it gives us a picture of love as a transformational power, as something dangerous, creative, ancient and always present.
Myth works as a mirror of consciousness. Through it we see the shapes love takes, the voices that are acknowledged or suppressed, the endurance of a society against lust. In myths, the body does not hide. On the contrary, it talks, transforms, is given a name, is honoured or mourned.And thus, it becomes a means to self-knowledge.
Modern readings of these tales are not done with the goal of ‘modernising’ them or forcing them into some ideology. They are done because myths do not die. They continue to work as a sort of emotional buoyancy, as logical examples, as aesthetic depictions. And they always reveal something about the period in which they are read.
