From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia

Andrew Calimach is an American author of Romanian extraction. Calimach researched and re-wrote an entire domain of Greek mythology - the myths of male love - which was censored up until the end of the 1900s. He published his research under the title of Lovers' Legends: The Gay Greek Myths

He was born in communist Romania under the Ceausescu regime, and by his own account "Having spent my early years under dictatorship, I have a particular appreciation for human rights, and consider the right to love as the most basic right of all."

Calimach is an independent scholar who writes on gender studies and other social issues, and runs workshops on the gay Greek myths. He divides his time between New York and Bucharest, and continues his studies and writing.
