Excellent post, fascinating piece. You have made my day, I actually feel like I know a lot more about this whole subject than I did yesterday. And I always aim to "learn something new every day."

I had no idea, none at all, that homosexuality was so wide spread and so accepted, historically. I had never thought about the ancient pagan religions and their lustful sexuality in this way, even though I've seen the urns.

On a somewhat more elevated note, I'd never really thought about HOW the God of the bible differs from Zeus, and that whole pagan lot, always knowing just THAT He does.

Prager is really good, and a very nice writer too.

Thanks Ernest!

I stumbled onto this and intend to use it with family who are too tolerant!

I'm really happy this article has been posted for discussion.
I stumbled across it last year.

Although I make my living in research science, I do have a real amateur love of
things Roman and other articles of antiquity.

BUT...this Prager article BLEW MY MIND!
A couple year of Latin and reading Roman history, as well as talking to my brother
who took a number of courses in "the classics" (read ancient Greeks) did not
prepare me for the sexual pecadillos of those "Noble Romans" and "Noble Greeks", etc.

From my past experience, and the generally good public-relations image the "ancients"
get in a lot of school courses...this article should be REQUIRED READING for
high school kids in schools AND those receiving religious instruction
at temple or church!

And people should ask themselves...
"Hey, our great-great-great-great-etc. grandparents tossed this sexual "freedom" B.S. to
the side of the road...do we really want to follow San Francisco and Europe
back down into the abyss?"

The ancient Hebrews weren't monogamous - they were polygamous.
