I'm the right person to recount this history, having written books that cover Greek, Roman, Renaissance, Middle Ages and Prussian homosexuality. The first half, Book One, is the highly serious, heavily documented story of hustlers during antiquity, including Alcibiades, Marc Antony and Constantinople emperor Basil I, while Book Two deals with present-day hustlers, men who crave sex, cruising nearly 24/7, for whom orgies and pool parties became so common that they sought new experiences through alcohol and drugs, and most died from what I call the gay plague, that or suicide.
