HEY LEAVE THE GREEKS OUT OF THIS. The homosexuals at the universities have done ENOUGH falsifying of ancient history of Greek culture. Homsexuals were NEVER accepted or commonly practiced as western universities would have you believe. (it was used to slur defeated enemies, it was also considered a choice)

If you go to a Greek University you risk you own safety. The last one to suggest king philip was a homosexual had to be excorted from the conference with a police escort. PC crap revisionists soil everthing they touch, we don't need anyone furthiering revisionism.

When I took History, Art, Womens classes in college, we studied the Greek Empire and its way of life. An interesting, and required, book to read is "Last of the Wine" which was about the Greek life. Take a look. You might find it interesting.

What an utterly incorrect assertion. Whatever else one may think of homosexual behavior, it's incontrovertible that it held a rather high status throughout the Classical Greek city states (well documented for Athens, Thebes, Sparta, Elis, Corinth, and well, basically the statement applies in some fashion to all of them). Now, one may very well choose to reject that transhistorical record as having any greater meaning or significance, but its factual basis is beyond serious dispute..
