So,it wasn’t a meme.the greeks really were gay?
This dialogue has a really cute opening with the older boy blushing and acting bashful around Lysis
It's a BL dialogue, written for fujos.
Being gay is based tho
>>25226818greek woman do that to a mf
>>25226818>yesyou have never heard of gay-reeks?
>>25226818
>>25226818Every civilised society has its decadent elite. The scum floats on the top.
i was kinda shocked when i actually read the greeks, after reading poltards discuss this for yearsthey really all were bisexual
>>25226818>the greeks really were gay?Yes.Why do you think this board is full of homosexuals and hate women?
>>25226873No, its perfection. BL written by men for men.Everything I have always craved, wanted and needed in my life.We must go back to a time before the Jews/Atenists brought their inverted mentality and flipped the genders for their own pleasures, to the destabilize the World.
>>25226818I don’t know. I was ranting to myself about how nothing explicitly mentions gays, until I got to Thucydides. Seems especially common in Xenophon’s time.
>>25227631The "decadent elite" i.e. the same Greeks responsible for all their military and cultural achievements
Gay for the rich, woman for the poor.That's what i think happened after reading the greek shit.
>>25226818Plato famously renounced sexual deviancy later in life after he received the light of wisdom.
According to Plutarch, Themistocles got the most talented Athenian exiled over rivalry for a lad, although they eventually reconciled>>25228068According to Herodotus, Persian pederasty culture (still exists today in things like bacha bazi) was a cultural import from Greece
>>25228947More like twinks stopped wanting to see his pillar of reason
>>25226818I think close friends might have held hands and cuddled, yet there was still a taboo against gay sex. Which just shows how much freedom they had in their masculine expression.
>>25229020I find it interesting how people like this anon will make up stuff like this without ever reading the primary sources to find out if it's actually true or not.
>>25229034That's not made up, that anon's right. You get glimpses of that in Plato's Symposium via Pausanias and his Laws via the Athenian Stranger's discussion of the history of pederasty, as well as in Aristophanes' Clouds in the debate between the Just and Unjust seeches, but it also comes up in at least one court case preserved among the Attic orators.
>>25226818If Phaedrus and Symposium (entry level of gayreek literature) didnt already clue you onto that, then I dont know what to tell you.
