Synopsis "Nero and Sporus"

inally available in one volume! The decadence of Imperial Rome comes to life in S.P. Somtow's Literary Titan Award-winning novel about one of ancient history's wildest characters.The historian Suetonius tells us that the Emperor Nero emasculated and married his slave Sporus, the spitting image of murdered Empress Poppaea. But history has more tidbits about Sporus, who went from "puer delicatus" to Empress to one Emperor and concubine to another, and ended up being sentenced to play the Earth-Goddess in the arena.from Literary Titan"If you like your historical fiction brutal and beautiful, if you're into mythology reimagined through a queer lens, if you can handle morally messy characters and poetic trauma-this is for you. Fans of Mary Renault, Madeline Miller, or even Game of Thrones ... will find something to love here."
