About this listen

Last spring, Lil Nas X released a music video featuring a quote from Plato's Symposium, which brought Classics to the forefront of pop culture. While these kinds of references to the ancient world are not uncommon in the media, sometimes they are misinterpreted and ancient figures are coopted as figureheads for ideas they did not support. Join me and Keisuke Nakajima (Jima) as we discuss the discipline of Classical Reception, Plato's (perhaps undeservingly persistent) legacy in queer media, and the Roman poet Ovid, who may be a better author to reference, should one wish to talk about the acceptance of diverse kinds of love and of the female perspective in the ancient world.
