Translating as The Boy&nbsp;Is Beautiful this intricate detail transforms a common vessel into a declaration of homoerotic affection; echoing the sexual liberation of a bygone era. The Boy Is Beautiful is a magazine and an invitation to unravel the thread of queer Greek chronicles, from myth and history, to contemporary life. It's a quest to figure out what happened between the time of Zeus and Ganymede, Apollo and Hyacinth, Achilles and Patroclus, the Band of Thebes and the Lesbian Sappho, Harmodius and Aristogeiton and my fascist, sexist, homophobic school mates, Thursdays’ straightwashed history lessons and Symposium-less Plato. — Leonidas Liolios, Publisher &amp; Editor Στην επιφάνεια ενός ερυθρόμορφου Αττικού αγγείου, μερικά χιλιάδες χρόνια πριν, μια επιγραφή που διαβάζει «ο&nbsp;Παῖς Καλός» (The Boy Is Beautiful) σκαλίζεται. Αυτή η περίτεχνη λεπτομέρεια μετατρέπει ένα κοινό δοχείο σε μια διακήρυξη ομοερωτικής έλξης, απηχώντας την σεξουαλική απελευθέρωση μιας ξεχασμένης εποχής. Το The Boy Is Beautiful είναι ένα περιοδικό και μια πρόσκληση να ξετυλίξουμε μαζί το νήμα των ελληνικών queer χρονικών. Από τους μύθους, στην ιστορία και την σύγχρονη εποχή. Είναι μια προσπάθεια να καταλάβουμε τι συνέβη μεταξύ της εποχής του Δία και του Γανυμήδη, του Απόλλωνα και του Υακίνθου, του Αχιλλέα και του Πάτροκλου, του Ιερού Λόχου των Θηβών και της λεσβίας Σαπφούς, του Αρμόδιου και του Αριστογείτονος και των φασιστών, σεξιστών, ομοφοβικών συμμαθητών μου, τα «ετεροφυλοπλυμένα» μαθήματα ιστορίας και τον Πλάτωνα που δεν «συμποσιάστηκε» ποτέ. — Λεωνίδας Λιόλιος, Publisher &amp; Editor https://theboyisbeautiful.com/Contact Tue, 14 Nov 2023 19:57:04 +0000 The Boy Is Beautiful https://theboyisbeautiful.com/Contact <img width="1016" height="327" width_o="1016" height_o="327" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e63bdf1b906da2526207ac4ac3226dd59395da10d74c9fa472650d0e7caac8f7/TBIB_Contact_Delos.png" data-mid="196875851" border="0" data-scale="28" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e63bdf1b906da2526207ac4ac3226dd59395da10d74c9fa472650d0e7caac8f7/TBIB_Contact_Delos.png" /> FOLLOW US Instagram Twitter GENERAL ENQUIRIES For general enquiries, or just to say hello email us at office@theboyisbeautiful.com SUBMISSIONS If you would like to submit your work for future issues of The Boy Is Beautiful magazine, please email us at office@theboyisbeautiful.com, including “Submission” on the subject line.
