| | + | == Homosexuality and the affects on Greece == |
| | + | |
| | + | Homosexuality was generally accepted in Ancient Greece, although not in the way it is known in the modern world. Gay rights activists sometimes use Greece as an example of how homosexuality can be benefical, normally unaware of methods such as pederasty which were commonly practiced. Some historians also believe that homosexuality helped lead to the downfall of Ancient Greece, as the population was not growing so much and food sources were not being produced as a result and armies became small. |
