The thread's' about greek philosophers and their thoughts on homosexuality.
In this post >>18193362 I'll go one by one (the first 8, since the rest are after what we call the hellenic period)
1. Thucydides merely states it, doesn't praise homos
2. Symposium is several speechs; for example in 181e, it says:
>As a matter of fact, there should be a law forbidding affairs with young with youngs boys. If nothing else, all this time and effort would not be wasted on such an uncertain pursuit - and what is more uncertain than whether a particular boy will eventually make something of himself, physically or mentally? Good men, of course, are willing to make law like this for themselves, but those other lovers, the vulgar ones, need external restraint.
3. Is anti-homo; it forces them to marry the opposite sex.
4. Is a statement, but it looks like it is pro-homo. I'll give you this one.
5. Is ambigous; I haven't seen Aristotle give an answer to it
6. Philo is an Hellenic "Jew" (he combined both ways of weltanschauung). Thus he is against it.
7. This fits in
8. It's never confirmed if Achilles "loved" Patroclus. The second part, however, fits in.
So you've got 3/8 who are pro-homo.
The rest (besides Frederick, the Faggot, who can't be considered a philosopher) is pretty much anti-homo.

>Greeks were fags! That makes me feel better about being a disgusting faeces eater!

Which books, exactly, started the myth of widespread and accepted homosexuality among classical greeks?
