Plato wrote in his “Laws” that homosexuality was “beyond nature,” yet several contemporaries wrote that the concept of Spartan pederasty was haste but still erotic<

also known as the West Hollywood doctrine. Maybe that’s why the Spartans were pissed off, they wanted to vent and erase that disgusting childhood memory by killing their enemies swiftly.
