If you'd admitted you chose the Solon handle because of Solon's boy-love, I'd forgotten it. Thanks for the confirmation.

SOLON (ca. 634-560 BC), the Athenian statesman who in his poetry showed himself entranced with boys, enacted important laws to regulate pederasty: No slave was allowed to have intercourse with a free-born boy. Another law deprived those of their citizenship who kept free boys in prostitution. However, these laws applied only to Athenian citizens, not to the many "xenoi", immigrants and their descendants.
