Quote:I couldn't disagree with this more. Pairing, homo or hetero, is the fundamental building block of social politics. If it is important historically to know if Alcibiades was doing a Spartan queen, then it is equally important to know if Lysander was doing a Spartan King.
He, he, he. He was. Not certain about Alcibiades though.
It is, most definitely, a part of social politics and, in Sparta, of "kingly" politics...
