Thank you very much to SB, Manu, 
Edmund and Diogenes.
Going with Ken Dover for now (any relation to Ben?).

And thank you to Jessy for 'turning me on' to the Warren Cup (always loving your sigpic by the way).

Then: Craig A. Williams's Roman Homosexuality: Ideologies of Masculinity in Classical Antiquity (2nd edition, 2010).

Then, hoping to check out books someone mentioned recently:
Noel Malcolm: Forbidden Desire in Early Modern Europe,
or,
Michael Rocke: Forbidden Friendships: Homosexuality and Male Culture in Renaissance Florence.

Unrelated, but: hoping to read more about Norman Douglas after discovering small details of his life and reading Robin Maugham's autobiography which contains mention of meeting Douglas for negronis along the Italian coast (lasting image of a lovely Italian boy in orange corduroys tending to the old man).

Would also love to read "Dangerous Love".
