yes

2020-03-13 05:33:26 UTC  

I mean we can adopt the diverse local culture

2020-03-13 05:33:28 UTC  

why did writers have special words for homosexuals and apply them to notable people including Emperors?

2020-03-13 05:33:36 UTC  

get stinger missiles to down enemy helos or jets

2020-03-13 05:33:45 UTC  

were Socrates/Plato just highly abnormal?

2020-03-13 05:33:50 UTC  

What special words did they have for homos

2020-03-13 05:33:54 UTC  

the entire greek and roman homosexuality myth relies on two pieces of art that are forgeries.

2020-03-13 05:33:59 UTC  

why did Plato feel perfectly safe writing about the virtues of homosexuality

2020-03-13 05:34:03 UTC  

no, that's not true at all

2020-03-13 05:34:07 UTC  

that's not even remotely true

2020-03-13 05:34:15 UTC  

what about sparta?

2020-03-13 05:34:18 UTC  

Does anyone have a link to the CBS interview?

2020-03-13 05:34:22 UTC  

the textual evidence is way more than the material evidence

2020-03-13 05:34:28 UTC  

@Nerthulas Socrates and Plato was heavily edited in the 16th century.

2020-03-13 05:34:45 UTC  

Where did Plato write so explicitly?

2020-03-13 05:35:04 UTC  

The Symposium in its untranslated form is entirely different to the translations given.

2020-03-13 05:35:23 UTC  

19th Century fantasies

2020-03-13 05:35:58 UTC  

do you have a copy of the Symposium in its untranslated form?

2020-03-13 05:35:59 UTC  

it's in <#634427147787829258> @Hermitage

2020-03-13 05:36:02 UTC  

where did you get it?

2020-03-13 05:36:07 UTC  

scroll up a couple videos

2020-03-13 05:36:12 UTC  

also, what you have is an alternative translation

2020-03-13 05:36:12 UTC  

Ah thx

2020-03-13 05:36:19 UTC  

All the sources are in that book

2020-03-13 05:36:20 UTC  

since you probably don't speak ancient greek

2020-03-13 05:36:38 UTC  
2020-03-13 05:37:01 UTC  

They completely got the translation wrong

2020-03-13 05:37:15 UTC  

first of all, I don't think this even touches on Rome

2020-03-13 05:37:19 UTC  

it just says Ancient Greece

2020-03-13 05:37:20 UTC  

and ran with it

2020-03-13 05:37:33 UTC  

imagine not reading Plato in original ancient greek, are your iqs below freezing point?

2020-03-13 05:37:36 UTC  

ancient Roman authors regularly used words indicated homosexuality about notable people

2020-03-13 05:38:08 UTC  

example

2020-03-13 05:38:20 UTC  

@Nerthulas Homosexuality in Ancient Greece as well as in Western Rome was punishable by death.

2020-03-13 05:38:39 UTC  

If there were any cases, they would have hidden it.

2020-03-13 05:38:43 UTC  

depended, sometimes just ousting or social death

2020-03-13 05:38:54 UTC  

why do Roman authors write that Roman Emperors engaged in it openly?

2020-03-13 05:39:15 UTC  

that they fucked traps or something?

2020-03-13 05:39:18 UTC  

(((ROman)))

2020-03-13 05:39:18 UTC  

Because history is edited by christian monks who were gay.
