"Homosexuality and Civilization", by Louis Crompton, paperback ed. 2006
Another overview from the Old Testament to the 19th c. AD, with plenty sources for antiquity. Extremely thin-skinned Christians should perhaps not read but remain in a state of innocense.

I just got started on this book. Very interesting so far. It never occured to me before that Achilles and Patroklos might have been lovers. Makes sense when you think about it, though.
