Book Synopsis The Pregnant Male as Myth and Metaphor in Classical Greek Literature by : David D. Leitao
Book excerpt: This book traces the image of the pregnant male as it evolves in classical Greek literature. Originating as a representation of paternity and, by extension, "authorship" of creative works, the image later comes to function also as a means to explore the boundary between the sexes.
