What did gayreeks poets mean by stuff like this though?

> Theognis of Megara was an ancient Greek lyric poet who lived in around the sixth century BCE and is known for having composed many poems about pederasty. In his Elegiacs 1.1345–1350, he declares:

> “And to love boys is a delightful thing, ever since even Ganymedes was lusted after by the Son of Kronos, the king of the immortal ones, who, seizing him ascended to Olympos and set him up as a daimon [i.e., a divine being], having the attractive flower of youth. Therefore do not be amazed, Simonides, that, on account of this, it has come to light that even I am overcome with lust for a beautiful boy.”

No. Zeus was literally a gay pedo. There’s also a whole myth about Zeus and Ganymede who was a little boy.
