> There's definitely some man-boy shit going on in there. In fact, there was a disagreement between officers on who gets the boy. This doesn't mean Xenophon was OK with it, but it's there. This also doesn't mean that the officers duking it out over the boy was a homosex thing, but if I remember correctly it was fairly sus. I really wish I could find the passage. 1. "There's definitely some man-boy shit going on in there..." - There is. I provided a passage. This cannot be contended. I provided the passage for you to read. 2. "This doesn't mean Xenophon was OK with it..." - As stated. The passage in the book doesn't mean that he was OK with it, but it IS in the book. I'm not making any assertions for either side. Just providing evidence in a book that I've read that had a "Greek phase" in it. 3. "This also doesn't mean that the officers duking it out over the boy was a homosex thing..." - Again, giving Xenophon the benefit of the doubt here. > So do you believe the Greeks largely condoned sodomy? I don't. Nor did I ever say that I thought so. You inferred as much because you're a bored coomer looking for an online fight. There's a debate you can find online written around that time where a political figure, in order to win votes, slandered his opponent by calling him a homo. I get the feeling you're a bit in over your head here.
