Well, for one thing the book is translated from Italian so I suspect it wasn't called that in it's original language. For another, I think she just chose bisexuality as a blanket term because it covered homosexuality, lesbianism, and bisexuality - since she seems to deal with homosexuality and lesbianism by turn, but because of marriage, most of these people were bisexual by default, at least by the dictionary defintion of someone who 'loves' both men and women regardless of their own gender. Of course, I'm assuming all this since she never did a real definition of terms. The book could more accurately be entitled, "Homosexuality, Lesbianism and Bisexuality in the Ancient World" *shrugs* But who cares? *g*

You should definately visit the British Museum, and plan on going for the entire day, and maybe leave yourself a second day as well. There's nothing more frustrating then to visit the damn place and not see something you know is there cause you run out of time.
