 ==Fabricating history== 

 Obviously a person of homosexual orientation wrote the article. There is no substantiation whatsoever that homosexuality or pederastry was a norm in ancient Greece. On the contrary, homosexuality and pedophilia  
 was scorned upon and ridiculed. In terms of pederastry: the words erastis and eromenos in ancient Greek, do not indicate sexual relationship. Over the years the meaning has been corupted as with many other words in 
 modern Greek. It was more a mentor-disciple relationship. For example, a number of erastis would be listed for a single eromenos. You are not suggesting that parents would endorse their precious boys to be taken 
 advantage by many sick perverts are you. One mentor would teach the boy military arts, another philosophy, etc. What normal, logical human being would believe such an absurd claim as yours that actually sexual 
 relationship between men and boys was endorsed and expected by the greek or any culture? You cannot be a total moron, so just tell us; are you a homosexual? If so, your article should be deleted for attempting to  
 fabricate history to justify yours and others sickness. If you say you are not, then your article should be deleted, because only a fool would advocate that a  great culture and civilization who founded the western world, 
 would adopt abuse and corruption of their boys. 

 By the way, all your distortions in the so called ""article"" (a bunch of ballony) can be refuted in Georgopoulos's book, ""Homosexuality in Greece: Myth debunked"".
