In that volume Calimach revisited well-known characters from Greek myth and uncovered previously ignored aspects of same-sex love and its influence on Greek social, moral and spiritual teachings.
Calimach draws upon these myths for Lovers’ Legends Unbound which is accompanied by an audio CD read by actor Timothy Carter and punctuated with occasional flute by Steve Gorn.
Calimach’s rediscovery of the gay elements to Greek myth is useful for the casual reader and as an instructional tool for gender and classical studies.

Drawing on a wide variety of sources from Homer to Stobaeus, Calimach has attempted to restore and retell a selection of male same-sex love stories, which he reclaims, from the sanitized, heterosexist pages of many popular versions of the myths, for the 'gay tradition'.
It is obvious which side of the debate Calimach supports: as he clearly does not endorse the misogyny and the derogatory remarks about lesbians made in the dialogue, I wonder about the wisdom of using these excerpts as a linking device, especially as no arguments are offered for the inclusion of this text.
The myths of male same-sex love (with their endless variations) clearly reflect the different societies in which they were shaped and re-shaped (from archaic Greece to imperial Rome): to attempt to construct Ur-myths which exist in some spirit- filled vacuum is a dangerous procedure indeed.

 And the Greeks had a word for it...
Andrew Calimach has set out to rectify what he sees as a major omission in the way we read Greek myths: that there is “scant, if any, mention of male love” (page 118), despite the common perception that they are full of such stories.
The love of Heracles (Latinised by Calimach to Hercules) for Hylas has a curious historical parallel in the love of Hadrian for Antinous, but is something that the musclebound hero of the television series is unlikely to experience in front of a teenage male audience.
Calimach points out (page 120) that the history of lesbianism has been so well suppressed, that we are in no position to attempt anything like the retelling of stories dealing with female homosexuality (if any even existed).

This is a neat little book that presents a selection of the Greek myths, many of them familiar, only this time with formerly expurgated "gay" material put back in.
The stories have been put together by a man named Andrew Calimach, who apparently dug through tons of original Greek tales to find the material which has so often been "neutered" or rewritten so it's de-emphasized.
