Скачать или смотреть From the Boar's Perspective: Adonis and Aphrodite

The wild and twisted tale of Aphrodite/Venus and Adonis—told from the boar’s point of view. The lesser-known Greek poem, ΕΙΣ ΝΕΚΡΟΝ ΑΔΩΝΙΝ, flips the classic myth on its head, revealing a boar infatuated with Adonis, leading to a fatal “kiss” and a bizarre act of devotion. Features dark eroticism, late-Hellenistic poetry, and a nod to Shakespeare’s Venus and Adonis. Not suitable for children....
