OverviewAsopichos's life is a whirlwind. From our hero's simple boyhood on the shores of Lake Helikē to his initiation as a warrior-lover in the Sacred Band of Thebes, Elias Pagonitis's Of Gods and Heroes: An Unbiased Retelling of the Story of the Gods and Heroes of Ancient Greece will keep readers turning the pages. Eventually, Asopichos lands at the side of the great Theban general Epaminondas in his stunning victory over the Spartans at Leuctra. Of Gods and Heroes's denouement is Asopichos's awakening to ultimate reality. Of Gods and Heroes is an unbiased and unsanitized account of being a gay warrior in ancient Greece. Inspired by Joseph Campbell and modeling Asopichos on both Luke Skywalker from Star Wars and Neo from The Matrix, Pagonitis has written a book for every reader who, like Pagonitis, has suffered from the devastating, horrific effects of homophobia.
