Thais of Athens/YMMV
- Les Yay: Despite Thais claiming she is not a "tribade", there is plenty of it between her and Aegesichore and, particularly, her and Eris.
- Marty Tzu: Alexander, right up until the Indian campaign.
- Tear Jerker: Eris' almost-death at the hands of the assassins in Egypt.
- Values Dissonance: At the start of the book, Thais is a seventeen-year old prostitute in a relationship with a 24-year-old man. Slavery is a fact of everyday life, and Thais' tendency to free all her slaves is viewed as unusual.
