Quote: I have most of his chapters, and often agree with him- though his chapter on Spartan pederasty is not even internally consistent, never mind correct.

Are we speaking of the same book? Anton Powell's Athens & Sparta: Constructing Greek Political and Social History from 478 BC ? There is no chapter on Spartan pederasty. There is, though, a subject within the chapter "Life within Sparta" termed "Pressure for Homogeneity: the dining group; marriage and homosexuality" of which pederasty takes up four paragraphs. His reasoning seems impeccable - and balanced - to my reading.

Ἐπὶ τοὺς πατέρας, ὦ κακαὶ κεφαλαί, τοὺς μετὰ Φιλίππου καὶ Ἀλεξάνδρου τὰ ὅλα κατειργασμένους

Wicked men, you are sinning against your fathers, who conquered the whole world under Philip and Alexander!
