A landmark illustrated anthology of queer Greek and Roman love stories that reclaim and celebrate homosexual love and sensuality, from artist Luke Edward Hall and award-winning poet Seán Hewitt.

Through his drawings, Luke strives to evoke a magical place, inspired in part by his personal experiences – he loves Italy, for example, the people, the food, the culture – and in part by his love for the past – an ancient past, mythological, an age of elegance where there were no computers or highways. But though it is a place of imagination, brightly colored and playful, it is never nostalgic, but rather a place where it's fun to let yourself get carried away. a b Newbold, Alice (2022-02-23).

Their flat is small – just a living room with a built-in kitchen, a cubby-hole-cum-office off to one side, a bedroom, bathroom and an entrance hall – but its high ceilings and the sheer amount of stuff make it appear labyrinthine. The couple changed their living room walls from dark green to pale pink a few months ago. “We originally used a Pepto-Bismol pink – we wanted a bright, intense shade. But in the evenings our lamps made it look really alarming. It lasted three days before we gave up and repainted the room paler. It’s where everything happens: we cook, eat, live and work in this room. It’s the biggest and brightest, with a view of treetops.” In 300,000 Kisses , award-winning poet Seán Hewitt and renowned designer Luke Edward Hall collect these stories--including some of the most beautiful and moving in the classical canon--and bring them to vivid life. Alongside celebrated works by Homer, Sappho, Ovid and Catullus, they include a wide range of rarely anthologized sources: raunchy poems, thoughtful dialogues, philosophical treatises, and even a graffiti text salvaged from the ruins of Pompeii.

I’m sure you know the kind of unholy look I’m alluding to: it’s one favoured by developers of “luxury” properties (although this word seems to have lost a lot of its meaning). To me, those rooms look as if the life has been drained right out of them; they are cold and hard and devoid of personality. Usually a token effort will have been made to bring in some colour: the palest of pale-blue cushions, or a throw in some funereal shade of mauve. For centuries, evidence of queer love in the ancient world has either been ignored or suppressed. Even today, only a few narratives are widely known: the wild romance of Achilles and Patroclus; the yearning love of Sappho's lyrics; and the three genders introduced in Plato's Symposium . Yet there is a rich literary tradition of queer Greek and Roman love that extends far beyond the prudish translations of these familiar handful of stories.

The large main living area is painted in Leyland's bold 'Forest Storm', which makes the space cosy. Although there was initial concern about how dark it was ('I did think for a moment, what have we done - we're living in a dungeon,' says Duncan), the final result is very beautiful. The room fortunately benefits from two large sash windows, so it remains bright and light. I always begin my projects by leafing through old books and magazines; then, I visit galleries and museums. I allow myself the time to dream and invent stories." Breakfast and coffee is also offered to guests in the lobbyIt was a drab day in January 2019 when Duncan and I began hunting for a house in the country. As we trawled the web for cottages, our new lives flashed in my head as a gleeful, Arcadian slide show: garden weeding and village dog shows (we didn’t even own a dog at this point); long walks and longer lunches with friends and brilliant new neighbours. Plus, crucially, we would have an entirely new set of rooms to fill with wonderful things. But most of all, and in a very simple way, I looked forward to spending more time with hills and trees and sky around me. It would be an adventure.
