A sensual, modern retelling of Greek myths through a queer and trans lens. In Eros, Zoe Terakes transforms timeless tales of gods and mortals into passionate stories of identity, desire, and divine rebellion.
Description
Eros: Queer Myths for Lovers by Zoe Terakes is a sensual, subversive reimagining of ancient Greek mythology—a lush collection of queer tales where gods burn, mortals yearn, and desire reshapes the divine.
In these electrifying short stories, Terakes reclaims the myths that have shaped Western imagination and breathes queer life into them. Here, Zeus, Eurydice, Hermaphroditus, and Icarus are reborn in modern bodies and urgent moments—experiencing passion, grief, transformation, and transcendence. Through their stories, queerness is revealed not as deviation, but as the eternal truth of love and creation itself.
Written in language that glows with heat and poetry, Eros is both tender and raw—a meditation on identity, longing, and liberation. Houses burn. Lovers become gods. Flesh becomes myth.
