yes
I mean we can adopt the diverse local culture
why did writers have special words for homosexuals and apply them to notable people including Emperors?
get stinger missiles to down enemy helos or jets
were Socrates/Plato just highly abnormal?
What special words did they have for homos
the entire greek and roman homosexuality myth relies on two pieces of art that are forgeries.
why did Plato feel perfectly safe writing about the virtues of homosexuality
no, that's not true at all
that's not even remotely true
what about sparta?
Does anyone have a link to the CBS interview?
the textual evidence is way more than the material evidence
@Nerthulas Socrates and Plato was heavily edited in the 16th century.
Where did Plato write so explicitly?
The Symposium in its untranslated form is entirely different to the translations given.
19th Century fantasies
do you have a copy of the Symposium in its untranslated form?
it's in <#634427147787829258> @Hermitage
where did you get it?
also, what you have is an alternative translation
Ah thx
All the sources are in that book
since you probably don't speak ancient greek
@TheUserNameofPeace symposium
They completely got the translation wrong
first of all, I don't think this even touches on Rome
it just says Ancient Greece
and ran with it
imagine not reading Plato in original ancient greek, are your iqs below freezing point?
ancient Roman authors regularly used words indicated homosexuality about notable people
example
@Nerthulas Homosexuality in Ancient Greece as well as in Western Rome was punishable by death.
If there were any cases, they would have hidden it.
depended, sometimes just ousting or social death
why do Roman authors write that Roman Emperors engaged in it openly?
that they fucked traps or something?
(((ROman)))
Because history is edited by christian monks who were gay.
