"The point is, Solon was a Homosexual Pederast which means he had sex with underage boys."

You are attacking one of the heros--not only of Greece but of the entire planet--universally honored as the Father of Western Democracy and one of the great wise sages of antiquity. The question is why are you so hateful? And why are you so dishonest?

History is very very clear that Solon was no homosexual. And even if he was...why would that make him an object of hate and derision?

As to probably being a pederast...all males in Greece were pederasts. So again--bizarre hatred on your part and obviously some sort of personal issue. Hmmm...

"he had sex with underage boys"

There is no accusation of that by his contemporaries or in history. Firstly, we do not know if he engaged in pederasty that involved sex because a great deal of Greek pederasty did not. Secondly, if he did have sex with boys (as again, a great number of the Greek pederasts did), there is no record of that--nor of it being without the moral consent required. You are being dishonest and expressing a personalised hatred of a great and honored man. The big question here is: Why do you have this personal focus on Solon as the object of your hatred? Is it because he was one of the greatest, and because mediocrity always hates what is great and strong and good? Think about it. Twinkles...

"He is your namesake and your hero"

LOL! Actually, he is one of many user names I have across the world wide web! And I do respect and honor him for the mark he has left in history and for his contribution to human civilization. But then again--who doesn't??
