"Go forth as equals, and live in harmony accordingly,
For dignity and song, love and life
Have joined you together
as allies and companions.”
“Este pares et ob hoc concordes vivite; nam vos / et decor et cantus et amor sociavit et aetas.” –Calpurnius Siculus, Eclog. 2.99-100
September 30th marked the end of the five-year project LGBT Meets SPQR. I hope you enjoyed learning about the Greeks and Romans as much as I did. I appreciate all of the love and support I have received from all of you over the years.
I may continue to add translations infrequently, but I will continue to post lesson plans and book recommendations as time allows.
If any of you are interested in owning a paperback copy of LGBT Meets SPQR: A Sourcebook, copies will become available shortly at your favorite online store.
Thank you again for your love and support. In turn, I hope that my blog held meaning to you.
For queer folk around the world, I want you to know that you are not alone. Like the countless stories of queer folk preserved in the passages of this blog, your story also deserves to be told and preserved for future generations. May it be a happy one, full of love and support.
Omnia Vincit Amor,
Kris
