| Abstract: | This paper explores how the artist Montero Lamar Hill, better known as Lil Nas X, employs Classical imagery within his Montero (CMBYN) music video, before situating this as a work of Classical Reception through Queer Theory, Black Classicism, and Queer Theology. The paper theorises that through analysing the music video through these theories, the video can be read as a challenge to the alt–right adoption of Classics, and a celebration of the history of the Queer experience. |
