But somehow was into boys?<br />Socrates, Plato and even Aristotle who took a different approach found homosexuality wrong. Aristotle accused and shamed anyone who took the active role in male homosexual activity as he takes advantage of more passive men and especially children. Aristotle was Alexander's teacher even more cementing the fact that Alexander was not into boys.<br />Also, I am unable to find any instances of non-heterosexual activities in ancient Macedonia which makes sense since they were the most culturally conservative of the Greeks. This is also enforced by the lack of any such mentions in Paul's epistles in Greece, as 400 years is not enough to completely erase an activity which was supposedly widely practiced and accepted if the rulers during these years were also accepting, but if the rulers were NOT, it is possible that by the time of Paul's mission to Greece such practices were abandoned.

You Greek nation...Man that's some serious cope. You Greek nationalists are a funny bunch. How's your lovely debt crisis?<br />You haven't provided any proof of laws banning homosexuality. Meanwhile we have tons of art and written evidence of catamacy and homosexuality in Ancient Greece. Tominus Maximus on YouTube explains it best. Alexander was said by The Roman era writer Athenaeus says, based on the scholar Dicaearchus, who was Alexander's contemporary, that the king "was quite excessively keen on boys", and that Alexander kissed the eunuch Bagoas in public. This episode is also told by Plutarch, probably based on the same source. Thebes had a band of homosexual warriors according to Plutarch, and the Romans knew Ancient Greece was effeminate in their eyes. The Romans had even more widespread homosexuality, and they far surpassed the Greeks in every way. They even got the homosexuality from the Greeks after they conquered them. Socrates was only one man who was contradicted by others. To say he represented all Greeks is like saying Richard J. Evans represents all Englishmen. Go find a skirt to hide under, wimp. You Balkans are hilarious.

We know same sex relationships appear ...Not really. We know same sex relationships appear quite a bit in Greek mythology, and for sure it occurred quite a bit in Sparta and Athens. Both had large amounts of rumors as being boy lovers, a rumor that likely had some truth. If they were opposed to homosexuality, why would their gods be written to have had same sex relationships? Why would it have occurred so commonly in Greece? Why would the Romans almost characterize it as among other things, a place filled with effeminate homosexuals?

If Arschines speaks of the laws, of Solon, then the Laws of Solon were very clear and aligned with the idea of AIDOS, and Ancient Greek Morality.
