Revamped Abstract for the Research Symposium:wink

The Importance of pederastic relationships in ancient Greek martial life has been underemphasized by many historians. Experts from history and gender studies as well as writings from the Greeks themselves, are referenced to illustrate the Greek socio-military culture. After examining the differences between pederasty and pedophilia, terminology and structure are explored. An emphasis is put on the important role that male-male sexual coupling had on the soldiers of ancient Greece. Greek mythology is has many stories of male gods taking male human lovers. An abundance of respected martial heroes were involved in close relationships with other men. Greek kings and commanders engaged in pederasty, and some used the practice for military gain. On a more personal level, pederasty was used to harden young Greek men into soldiers. Pederasty was a pervasive and highly important aspect of a hoplite's life, forming his concept of what it meant to be a man, a Greek, and a soldier. The practice of pederasty should be an emphasized topic when studying Greek military culture.

A dark topic but interesting nonetheless. A phenomena seen in different cultures all over the world, unfortunately.
