Shades of Euroweenie pedophile rings, to my thinking.
Well, yeah, but that’s how their society worked.
I recently read about a compilation of all known examples of pre-Alexander Greek art. In those which were intended to represent the ideal of beauty, young boys/men outnumbered females by 14:1.
Which is as if you walked down the magazine rack today and 95% of the covers had young males on them rather than young females, instead of the other way around. Sex sold in ancient Greece, as today, but it was a very different kind of sex. Obviously changes a society quite dramatically.
This changed later, BTW. The Hellenistic Greeks and the Romans had much more appreciation for female beauty.
Another Greek ephebophile issue.
The high point of Greek culture and art coincided exactly with the maximum popularity of ephebophilia.
Which makes it pretty unlikely their addiction to homo sex caused their eventual collapse.
The common conservative belief that Greek/Roman homosex caused their societies to collapse does not, unfortunately, fit the timeline.
