My partner has been reading Plutarch's Alexander and Arrian's Alexander and finds that all mention of man-to-man love comes across as totally normal. Thanks for stopping by, Bev! :) Hiya Bev,

Historically, I think the Greeks all took boys to war for that purpose and it was generally A-OK with even their wives/lovers. I just found your blog!

Haven't seen the film yet - it didn't do well in the US but seems to be doing ok in Europe. so I've heard. but an interesting take on the whole Alexander thing. Thank you.
