Very interesting. I'm going to try to gt the Thornton book. I've just finished a lecture series from The Teaching Company on the Socaratic dialogues, and am re-reading them gradually. This will provide a useful adjunct. The reviews of it on Amazon are quite interesting. Especially the reader responses to the Kirkus review!

He also notes that adultery carried heavy penalties in Athens. One Greek legal code, he notes, held that a man caught having sex with another man's wife, daughter or sister could be summarily executed. So that's why they where homosexuals <g> Every woman is someone's daughter. Or does this mean only sex with someone you are not married to? If so I don't know why they say "wife, daughter or sister", unless perhaps the woman is considered the property of he husband, father or if she has neither brother. Tim
