' Wrote:someone is influated by to much movies. Homosexuality was aristocratic sin in Acient Greek civilastion. As rich people did not know what to do else.
no in sparta my friend.
Spartian males was living togeather separated from womans in barracks. Meetings with their wifes in order to have sex with them were almost every time planned long time before. Homosexuality was in sparta not even tolerated but directly suported because close relationships between soldiers (all Spartian males in productive age were soldiers) increased their coherence on battlefield. So homosexuality in Sparta was same common as books in library.
But be carefull, we can take their looking on sexuality same as is our... they wasnt gays as we understand that word in present times. Most of them was heterosexuals but their look on sexuality was different than ours. They wasnt having sex with other males (or womans... yep they has "lesbians" too) because they was atracted by same gender, they did it because it was just another social standard in their society.
Also... Spartians (I mean ppl with status of citizens) were not diversifiet on rich and poor people. Their had same social status.... they even hasnt money (their coins was from copper = useless behind borders of Sparta), cumulating of property was prohibited by law and showing trinkets or building unreasonable big or extravagant houses was unacceptable and persecuted. So homosexuality wasnt just phenomenon of rich people.
