But every quote in this image besides the Plato one is taken out of context, and Plato was supportive of pederasty in his earlier works. Xenophon was quoting the views of Lycurgus, the lawgiver of Sparta in the passage here >>508902818, where he continues to state that most people disagree with his views, and that pederasty is legal in most cities. That quote by Alexander is in response to being offered to purchase two boys as sex slaves; Plutarch in the same work describes Alexander as a boy-lover:
>Moreover, when he came to the royal palace of Gedrosia, he once more gave his army time for rest and held high festival.
>We are told, too, that he was once viewing some contests in singing and dancing, being well heated with wine, and that his loved boy, Bagoas won the prize for song and dance, and then, all in his festal array, passed through the theatre and took his seat by Alexander's side; at sight of which the Macedonians clapped their hands and loudly bade the king kiss the victor, until at last he threw his arms about him and kissed him tenderly.
The quote attributed to Aristophanes is a quote by a character he wrote in a satirical play. Aesop only makes fun of passive homosexuals:
>When Zeus fashioned man he gave him certain inclinations, but he forgot about shame. Not knowing how to introduce her, he ordered her to enter through the rectum. Shame baulked at this and was highly indignant. Finally, she said to Zeus: ‘All right! I’ll go in, but on the condition that Eros doesn’t come in the same way; if he does, I will leave immediately.’ Ever since then, all homosexuals are without shame.
Aeschines was concerned with the fact that Timarchus engaged in prostitution, not homosexuality. Demosthenes actually implies that Aeschines himself made sexual comments towards Alexander the Great, when he was a ten-year-old, in Against Timarchus, the same speech that this quote comes from.
