This isn't true.

They had relevance under cleomenes vs the Achean league, and very nearly regained the entire peloponese. It took the entire Achean league, and help from Macedonians to stop the spartans. Aratus let the Macedonians Into the peloponese despite hating them, cos the entire Achean league couldn't handle the spartans. Also after leuctra no state really ever gained dominance because from then on, it was all the Macedonians or Romans.

Also, Thebes was wiped off the face of the earth within 30 years of leuctra so yaknow...

He probably had at least two kids.

Alexander with Roxane the bactrian princess, and he also had Heracles who was illegitimate. Both murdered by Cassander of course lol

Because you believe something absurd that can be trivially refuted.

The US is like 2% gay with pride parades and a non-stop movement of shoving all this **** down our throats. You find the odd reference to homosexual acts within Ancient Greece if you actually go looking for it (where is all of these *** stuff in literature? Where is the gay version of The Odyssey?) and that leads you to conclude that it was some gay paradise. Confirmation bias is one hell of a drug.

The problem is you relate the sexual escapades of those people some 2000 years ago to today’s degenerate gay community. The 2 are not related. The ancients did not have gay pride,parades and flags. They banged young boys on the side and that’s all it was. It’s not a reflection on you or your politics , just a fact of ancient life.



It’s almost as if you are scared to accept the facts of what our ancestors where doing back then will make you gay some how by association.

Cool, you finally accept the fact that it was pretty common practice for men with wives to also sleep around and fornicate with concubines, slaves & young men as well in ancient Greece.

I meant defend the accuracy of the laughably false statement, not to defend the hypothetical fictional society you made up.

Did you watch the video yet? That's what this thread is about. Watch the video or go be a retard somewhere else. You're just repeating all of the common points over and over and these are all addressed in the video.

Look at what you just described. How could you possibly believe any of the things you are saying is in any way a normal behavior in a functional civilization?

You think you'd magically want to **** men in the ass if you lived in Ancient Greece because (???).

It was not the sparta of old, and once Epaminondas set up the arkadian league and recreated Messania, the spartans lost the helots which dramatically damaged their ability to mobilise a powerful army. The Thebans were also never able to take Sparta, so they were not annihilated, they were just beaten at Tegyra and Leuctra (thanks to epaminondas unusual at the time strategy). If they annihilated them, where was there supremacy? Why did they only go back to the Peloponnese once after Epaminondas was killed under Pamenes and achieve absolutely nothing?

Context is important, it's also worth noting the sacred band and athenians got their chit pushed in at chaeronea by Phillip and the macedonians just a couple of decades later.

We also have a bias, because the works that are left to us come almost exclusively from aristocratic upper class writers, and so people have a modern, warped view of the Greek world because they think everyone lived like the aristocrats. Imagine if 2000 years in the future, people are only left with sources from the elites, what they would think of our world? Even now, elites are involved in all sorts of sexual degeneracy (see Epstein..)

The concept of gayness doesn't really apply the same way in the greek world, they operated under a totally different paradigm that's hard for us to understand and love was a much more complex entity for them, than it is to us. Yes some higher class men did smash younger men (but they usually had wives too), but it was heavily frowned upon in most states, only Thebes and Elis had actual policies encouraging lovers (hence the sacred band of thebes, and possibly a sacred band in elis). In Athens, for example, it was considered shameful. We also still lack understanding of exact details of the sacred band, but it wasn't 'gay' in the modern sense of the word. Even a cursory reading of some of plato's works make it clear that it was heavily frowned upon. For example socrates often referred to Alcibiades as his lover, yet it's pretty clear he was against any physical manifestation of love but only a 'love of mind', yet the use of the word 'lover' would automatically make us assume he means gay love (which he doesn't).

I think Leather Apron did a better job, but Metatron is fine as well. They cover a lot of the same rampant misconceptions.

I mean, the thread title is correct from the depraved, Greek perspective.

The elites in their society would regularly plow young boys, but created this cult of personality that it was only gay if you were catching, not pitching LOLOLOLOL.

I didn't see any of this batty behavior in the ancient Jews, pretty lulzy to try and put the blame on them

I think the argument made in the video is that that's not really true, and these writeups of homosexuality are all very modern (like from the 1970s and on), and actual Greeks from that time universally condemned all forms of homosexuality, and even promiscuity, and while it obviously did happen, just like in every society to have ever existed, it was looked down upon by everyone, even by the small percentage taking part as it was seen as unnatural and an inability to control your passions, a flaw and a weakness.

As for the mentioning of Jews, it's probably because they're so often involved in these sort of smearings of Western Civilization.
