Thomas K. Hubbard is an American historian who has written about the topic of homosexuality in Ancient Greece.[1][2] He served as a professor at the University of Texas (UT) for over 30 years and worked as chair at the American Philological Association's Placement Committee.
Hubbard's 1998 article titled Popular Perceptions of elitist Homosexuality in Classical Athens became influential among critics of the phallocentric paradigm of homosexuality in Ancient Greece, promoted by Michel Foucault and Kenneth Dover, according to which the male act of sexual penetration was seen as an assertion of dominance over women, boys and other men, as opposed to a more pure manifestation of sexual desire.[2] He is also the author of the book Homosexuality in Greece and Rome: A Sourcebook of Basic Documents (2003).
