<p>Hidden in the margins of history books, classical literature, and thousands of years of stories, myths and legends, through to contemporary literature, TV and film, there is a diverse and other-worldly super community of queer heroes to discover, learn from, and celebrate. <br><br>Be captivated by stories of forbidden love like Patroclus & Achilles (explored in Madeleine Miller''s bestseller <i>Song of Achilles</i>), join the cult of Antinous (inspiration for Oscar Wilde), get down with pansexual god Set in Egyptian myth, and fall for Zimbabwe''s trans God Mawi. And from modern pop-culture, through Dan Jones''s witty, upbeat style, learn more about 90s fan obsessions <i>Xena: Warrior Princess</i> and <i>Buffy the Vampire Slayer</i>, Neil Gaiman''s <i>American Gods</i> and the BBC''s <i>Doctor Who</i>. <br><br><i>Queer </i><i>Heroes of Myth & Legend </i>brings to life characters who are romantic, brave, mysterious, and always fantastical. It is a magnificent celebration of queerness
