I have a problem with people who have nothing else on their minds than gay sex. And the first thing they imagine when the Greeks are mentioned is gay sex. Not Homer, not Pericles, not Alexander, just gay sex.
It might have been introduced to Crete from the east, and Crete already was sort of an oddball place due to Minoan influence. Like I say in the post, the Greeks associated certain aspects of it with the east, and they associated more woman-loving cultures with the west
my bad i didn’t read the entire post at the time cause i was in class, anyways the cup bearer thing is quite funny to me because i was always confused on why medieval islamic literature mentioned the gifting of cup bearers between rulers till i realized it meant pederasty probably
i’m not sure about the arabs themselves i’ve mainly read about this from andalusian and khwarezmian sources which is natural since they were the pinnacle of medieval islamic civilization
Could you write a substack rebuking this video again (https://youtu.be/sycii9j6wzs?si=vGUxYCbr_5vzRgy_) I remember you had a textpost on iFunny but it was probably banned
Yeah, sure.

Heard it came to Greeks from Anatolia?
I can only answer this with two very good sources:
Plato and the Hebrew Bible which was a Hellenistic creation

A book by a Greek who actually read the original sources in their language and his responses to both Christians and pervs
