OPUS GENERIS is a suite of five classical poems which give a dialectical, forward-moving, depersonalized picture of the gender-identity formation process in terms of traditional classical myth. The aim was to do justice to both the telos of heterosexual marriage and child-rearing, as affirmed by the Judaeo-Christian moral tradition, AND the zigs and zags of the identity formation process, as covered in classical poetry, and all in the context of a night's poetic entertainment in two languages and various meters. Catullus, Cybele and Attis (Latin, galliambics, failure to escape from the mother) Pindar, Olympian #1 (Greek, epinician, powerful male figure pulls boy away) Odyssey Book II (Greek, hexameters, boy tries to play the man independently and fails) Ovid, Daphne & Apollo (Latin, hexameters, boy turns from playing with boys to pursuing a girl) The aim is not to court controversy as being pro or anti trans, or pro or anti pedophilia. The aim is to provide material that is well balanced enough to provoke interesting and necessary discussion.
