Spartan pederasty?

[hoplite14gr]

Of couse homosexuals and paedophiles did exist.
Yet the practice was frowned upon.
Add the strong evidence that doric Laconians had been influenced by doric Cretans in their legal system and ther was the possibilty that Cretan "anti-effemination" laws were adopted also.
Even Plutarch in life of Lycourgos wrote that the relationship between boy and mentor was chaste.
Yet he is suggesting that Agesialos took a liking to boys BUT the incident tookplace outside Sparta and the original text is not clear and allows tranlstion as wishfull thiking so Agesialos is aquited in lack of more evidence :lol:
Kind regards
