>Aeschylus lived 300 years after Homer and was a theatre fag you Kinaidos.
The Persian Wars played a large role in Aeschylus' life and career. In 490 BC, he and his brother Cynegeirus fought to defend Athens against the invading army of Darius I of Persia at the Battle of Marathon.[11] The Athenians emerged triumphant, and the victory was celebrated across the city-states of Greece.[11] Cynegeirus was killed while trying to prevent a Persian ship retreating from the shore, for which his countrymen extolled him as a hero.[11][17]

In 480 BC, Aeschylus was called into military service again, together with his younger brother Ameinias, against Xerxes I's invading forces at the Battle of Salamis. Aeschylus also fought at the Battle of Plataea in 479 BC.[18] Ion of Chios was a witness for Aeschylus' war record and his contribution in Salamis.[17]

Thanks, I was wondering whether there were any Frederick Rolfe books worth adding. I did not add Desire & Pursuit of the Whole for precisely the reason you articulated.

Thanks for the other recommendations as well. QRD on Guillame Dustan? I'm still wondering how much I should curate this list to reflect 4chan tastes and prejudices. The whole point after all is to be a /lit/ fag canon, not merely a fag canon. Things that are transgressive in a "plain fucked up" way like Hogg (not on the chart yet) or Assisted Living seem appropriate to the board culture, but stuff like Guillaume Dustan seems maybe too... how do I say it?—queer theory-ish? Please correct me if I have the wrong impression of his works though, or if you think my approach here is wrong-headed. I'm open-minded, I want the chart to be collaborative.

I was tempted earlier to add Renaud Camus' 'Tricks' not only because it was a popular gay work in the mid-20th century but also for the novelty of the fact that Camus is the Great Replacement guy. But is it actually enjoyable or interesting to read?

Thank you anon. I wanted to add August von Platen but I wasn't sure whether there were any easily available publications I could put on the chart. I also thought it might be interesting to include writers and writings associated with the vaguely egoist / conservative revolutionary homosexual circle of early 20th century Germany, like Hans Blüher. 'Homosexuality and Male Bonding in Pre-Nazi Germany' might be a good collection to add.
