What interpretation? How are they modern, do you know the citations? Did you even read anything?

EDIT: Miffin will continue to deny that I directly quoted classical texts for the rest of the exchange, presumably because Miffin didn't read the comment. I can't tell if it's a troll, or some kind of bluff (in which case this was all a projection? talk about the Internet being srs bzns... well, Miffin says later it's from a college class, so I assume it's well-meaning, but authority can be a piece of work)? In any case...

Did you?

Yes, I sent them to you, and all of a sudden, they don't exist. Centuries of the classics are wrong- Internet people who for political reasons need to deny homosexual practices existed before the 20th century are right! Even people who lived in times which heavily disapproved of homosexuality, are lying when they say otherwise about the Sacred Band in their studies! Lol

There is still time to admit you didn't read even a single sentence of my post. I quoted six classical authors.

There's still time to admit you've even given and thought to the fact that this shit might be made up and just blindly googled a shitty defense of it to cling to your sad world view

OK, so you just admitted you didn't read my post, or you're trolling. I hope for the latter.

You post the same shitty sources that wikipedia uses to promote the idea that they were all gay. True scholar you are. The best thing any actual scholar will tell you about that shit is "maybe". Do something other than google this shit for sources that agree with you if you are at all interested in finding the truth.

There are only so many classical texts still extant, what do you want me to do, make up new sources? Of course Wikipedia would cite some of these. "Shitty"? No, these are direct quotations from classical texts (in translation of course). What kind of point is that?

Do something other than google this shit for sources that agree with you if you are at all interested in finding the truth.

You listened to some Internet contrarian who claims that the existence of homosexual practices in ancient Greece was made up by a gay dude in the 70s...... and had zero knowledge of the classical sources involving this topic. This conversation started with the lie that this was something made up by some gay dude in the 70s.

The best thing any actual scholar will tell you about that shit is "maybe".

And you've listened to a """scholar""" on the Internet which defamed the entire field of classics because of his wingcuckery. Someone who is willing to make up the most ridiculous lies.

If you are at all interested in finding the truth, perhaps do not listen to these people. They certainly do not care about truth.

EDIT: it is interesting that Miffin says I "googled this shit[sic] for sources that agree with" me. I made quotations from the extant classical corpus on the Sacred Band. I am sure the irony here is not lost.
