    So there is enough homosexual slang in Greece to have an etymology and dictionary? Does it go all the way back to the ancients?

      A ha ha… well, Petropoulos wrote many books about various groups of people who were, one way or another outcasts of society at a time. For example, he wrote a book titled “Manual of the good thief”.

    Cool cover.
    I suppose he’s taking his chances on the subject matter, which is why he is in a target!
    Interesting!
