If Athens and Sparta was the Sodom and Gomorrah of Greece what the f-ck is Los Angeles and New York in USA today? The Sodom and Gomorrah times 10?

"let the Greeks make their own version"? What the hell has ever stopped them? Is there a U.N. Resolution barring Greece from making such a film?

Naw Oliver Stone is just a...

Hi oakar_olin, sorry to disappoint you, but homosexual relations in Ancient Greek and Rome were accepted as something normal. It's from the Middle Ages, under the influence of Roman Catholic Religion, that this kind of practice got associated with sin and unacceptable behavior. For the Ancients, who had different moral ethics, it was not a sin. It was also very common to have adolescent boy-middle-aged man relationships, and this kind of...
