A recent post by our friend George Michalopulos of Monomakhos.com turned our attention to the issue of homosexuality and pederasty in Ancient Greece. After all, we are now on “Rainbow June”, the “gay pride” month… For years, the gay rights community has been using and mostly abusing the history of Ancient Greece to justify their preferences and their excesses. You can watch an excellent video on Monomakhos.com explaining the issue but you can also watch the two I have picked here – one in Greek and one in English (below). But before you do that, let me recapitulate here some basic historical truths:
- Homosexual relations were forbidden both in pre-classical Athens and in Sparta. Solon’s famous legislation was explicit on this issue – and quite harsh.
- The concept of “eros” in classical Greece and especially in Plato and Socrates was absolutely referring to spiritual love.
- The relationship between a grown man (mentor) and a young boy (student) was also part of this spiritual love and was never meant to have a physical aspect.
- The name for a homosexual was “kinaidos” (κίναιδος), and it conveyed a very negative, disparaging meaning…
- “Marriage” or permanent sexual relationships between people of the same sex was inconceivable in Ancient Greece, as against nature.
As someone who has written a doctoral dissertation partly on this issue, the abuse of history to achieve political goals in the present, I can assure you that the abuse of history of ancient Greece by the ignorant “gay lobby” is blatant, a classic example of the phenomenon of “re-writing” history, which we see all around us today, including the demolition of statues of the men who made this great country what it is…
BELOW ENJOY THE TWO VIDEOS… FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO UNDERSTAND GREEK, THE FIRST ONE IS TRULY AN EXCEPTIONAL VIDEO, BASED ON PURE FACTS…
The spiritual love was depicted beautifully in Kazantzakis’ “Zorba the Greek”– their dance- their mutual admiration in discovering the knowledge – gleaned from one another- as disparate as they were, what Zorba taught him was the Greek spirit –“to be free”– and likewise– Zorba learned to make peace with his past– This is what men in Greece should be all about! Kazantzakis got it right!
Thanks Helleniscope and Monomakhos for exposing the massive, nonstop lies of deviant radical left out to dismantle what’s normal — what’s pure and right
in God’s Plan.
Even the Ancient Greek philosopher Plato wrote against homosexuality.
Most horrific is Church Proper: it’s infiltrated with these same freaks.
We know who they are…
yet none of us are willing to take action to depose these wolves in sheep clothing!
Question: What did each one of us do today to stop the transgender agenda? What will we do tomorrow?
There was an old joke in the Soviet Union: “The future is already written. It’s the past that keeps changing.”

Egypt, Greece, Rome, Freeman Oxford 1996 p184 “young boy’s initiation.. sexual element of the relationship appears to have been restrained, and may not have involved any actual penetration.. substitute for women by older men who had not yet reached the age of marriage.. family would be vigilant to ensure he was not being abused.. For a Greek male to accept the submissive role in a homosexual relationship, or to be paid for this role, was considered so degrading that, in Athens at least, it resulted in the loss of citizen rights”
