Spartan pederasty?
#27
Of course they are entitled to their views and interpretations.
But it is a possibility that even the ancient narrators quoted, to have biased views on social phenomena. I think Plutarch was biased in some of his works.
The issue is if it was an ideal world in antiquity for these tastes but it seems as I posted before that it was like our times. If you were VIP you could get away with things just as you can now.
If we take Aristophanes (properly translated) as expressing popular feeling in his comedies then "deviands" were ridiculed and horribly abused verbally at least.
History-or at least a version of narration- can be used to promote an agenda.
The Belgian education minister comes to mind in her attempt to educate pupils in what she perceives correct using the new history text book.
Politics is not my aim here. I just try to stress that historical presentation can be used for promoting ones goals. That applies to ANY group either majority or minority.
Kind regards
