This article is sloppy with sources. For the moment, I'll just refer to some assertions about Solon.
- 1) laws regarding pederasty are wrongly attributed to Solon in the section 'Law'. This attribution is based on a very poor reading of the historic source, the speech by Aeschines. Read the source! Aeschines is talking about lawgivers in general. The context of the speech is clearly anachronistic.
- 2) Solon is asserted to be the founder of the pederastic tradition in Athens in the section 'History and Artistic Record'. What's the source for this? I suspect it's a case of Aeschines being misapplied yet again.
This nonsense has to be cleared up. Lucretius (talk) 08:30, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
