Description: "Homosexualities, like heterosexualities, are many and diverse, and the psychological type of 'the homosexual' does not exist. The adventure of human sexuality takes us beyond the old polarities of biology or psychoanalysis. Starting from the Greek myth of the rape of Ganymede and from the idea of a joining of gay trajectories with the search for spiritual experience, Vittorio Lingiardi pursues centuries of myths, poems, and symbols."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 213-230) and index.
