doesn't deny the sexual attitudes among soldiers at the time, or the chance of informal sexual relations among them). I think that's where you are getting the wrong angle on things. I also think you are not distinguishing between pederasty and homosexuality. At that time, sexual relationships were supposed to be unequal, one partner being dominant. So pederasty was considered OK since it was OK for a man to dominate a youth. But homosexuality was frowned on because it put one man in an inferior position. That's why Ferrill says "Homosexuality was rife in ancient times, but it was as controversial in antiquity as it is today", and that's how he explains Xenophon's disapproval. Likewise Rockwell talks about Plutarch's sensitivity to homosexuality. That's why Rockwell can talk about youths being recruited by erotic relationships, and also how these could continue as homosexual relationship, but he's not arguing that the band was structured along erotic lines, in couples. Since you offered some personal opinions, I'll offer mine. A military unit made of lovers would be like a military unit made of married couples. "Did you put out the garbage?" "You're getting more and more like your mother every day." "You leave my mother out of this!" It's just ridiculous. The minority tradition was championed by moral philosophers who were not concerned much with practical realities. I might add, ancient Greece is not a proper role model for modern homosexuals, but the Sacred Band has become a gay icon and it's difficult to argue about these these things objectively. Anyway, that's my POV. The fact is there are two traditions, one that mentions the erotic nature of the band, and one that doesn't. That needs to be stipulated at the outset. Similarly controversy about the band's military significance should also be stated at the outset. Actually, I don't think we are far off consensus. The article is already much better than it was. It is no longer Plutarch reconstituted for promotional purposes. But, I think the icon thing is causing you to favour some interpretations rather than others.

much that he wrote about the Sacred Band was intended to win tolerance for homosexuals. Homosexuality was controversial even then. Oddly enough, pederasty was OK then, in so far as it was between adult and 'boy', while today that is much more controversial than homosexuality. However, 'boy' could be a pretty flexible term and often it was used to denote adult males in an inferior position. It is conceivable that members of the band might have refered to each other as boys, just as we refer to women as girls. What seems absurd to me is the notion that a military unit would be divided into pairs of lovers. What happens if one dies? Does his partner have to leave or does he have to fall in love with a new recruit or what? You only have to look at the writings of Archilochus and Xenophon to see that hoplites valued steadiness under pressure, men acting together as a unit. It's the moral philosophers who go on about a band of lovers and that can also be pointed out in a study of the sources. However there is no denying that pederasty, between man and 'boy' was a fact of life then. The question is whether or not a band was organized into pairs of lovers and the idea that they were not certainly deserves higher placement in the article. But I'm not going to engage in any edit war over this. I'll come back later and try adding something, after feelings have had time to settle.

That's a modern term. Emphasizing the ancient account is emphasizing pederasty and that has pedophile connotations. The article was short on scholarly sources when I found it. It was Original Research. You demoted Leitao's views and removed them from the caption. I accept your word that your edit was not tendentious. However Leitao is a modern scholar who has studied the primary sources and readers are entitled to know his findings at the outset. Your source is Plutarch. Plutarch distances himself from his own account and readers should know that his account was in fact a minority view. I also am trying to counter POV. I'm restoring my edit as yours is based on OR and minimizes the role of research. Oh and I should add that I was McOoee.

Buffiere 1980, Sergant 1986, De Voto 1992, Ogden 1996). He cites only one scholar as sceptical (Buck 1994). Add to the sceptical list very recent works by Leitao himself and Rockwell. Conclusion: Yes, most scholars favour the lovers tradition, but not all. The word "tended" does not support the notion that the sceptical group is insignificant . Yet your intro to the article doesn't even acknowledge that group and you are referencing some works that do not even mention the lovers tradition. Do you have psychic powers? Do you know which tradition underlies those books, even when it is unstated? The intro must allow for that difference of opinion among scholars, and the article must cover the problematic nature of the sources.
929:
only one consideration among many in addressing broader issues. I won't stop you citing them. However, I will of course revise your edit if I think you are aiming to water down Leitao's findings or if you are trying to bury them under a weight of irrelevant information. My advice is don't try to present the band as an historical fact (you are on weak ground there) but rather try to develop its significance as a cultural icon. We should be on the same wavelength then. Plutarch himself was responding to its iconic significance. Hopefully, I'll be pleasantly surprised by your edits, but I've seen too much nonsense in articles like this to expect much at the moment.

surprising). I'd also emphasize that the composition of the unit is a primary aspect of the Sacred Band's notability, even if the minority view that they didn't exist or weren't male lovers somehow "proved" true: the mutual devotion of the men is what made them of interest in the later tradition. In ages when homosexuality was forbidden, that devotion was idealized and interpreted as non-sexual. But at the beginning of the modern gay-rights movement in the 19th century, the military valor of male lovers was used to counter stereotypes of effeminacy. So the Sacred Band does have both a historical and legendary tradition.
2137:(John Buckler). That's three cited books I've checked so far and not one supports the tradition of the band of lovers that you so confidently announce in the intro. Add Leitao and Rockwell's scepticism to that silence and there is a good case for mentioning two traditions in the intro, just to cover all bases. However, I must admit that your articles is looking better as it grows. I'll be generous and not claim any credit for that. Regarding your earlier statement about earning respect – it's an encyclopaedia anyone can edit, not a club. 2005:
tweaking. Rockwell can be added later as I'm looking at other sources for expanding the sections on the battles. Hard enough to do without you constantly whining that I'm not making the subject look bad enough to fit your revulsion of it. And no, Leitao doubts not only that the Band was composed of lovers, but everything about it. That's not even close to Rockwell's position. Nevertheless, if they share the same opinion on something, they'll both be cited... later. Besides we both know that's not really what you're after.

married to each other. Not to mention his interpretation that flute-playing may actually be a reference to fellatio. He also quotes J.M. Moore to point out that Xenophon's typically Athenian view on the matter (of it purportedly being restricted to feelings with no touching) was defensive and naive as a result of Xenophon's well-known strong pro-Spartan views (Sparta also practiced pederasty widely), clashing with his Athenian view on the institution of pederasty in military training (which was indeed widespread).
1453:
Claiming it's wishful thinking among Greek moralists holds no water when some of those who report it frown on the practice. They'd be more likely to suppress it if that was the case. And I disagree on the ridiculousness of lovers in a military unit. The "practical realities" of classical Greece is not exactly the same practical realities of married couples today. Greek and Roman heroic traditions even explicitly pair up heroes, using the emotional bond to further make a tragedy even more tragic.
1652:
chronologically. But secondary sources come first methodologically because they provide a context for interpreting the ancient record. You've started this article with a clear idea of what you think the primary sources are saying, and now you are interpreting and selecting secondary sources to fit your interpretation. If you were writing about starfish I wouldn't care about priorities. But this is a key article in a web of articles concerning pederasty. It should be above suspicion.
1209:" That's distancing language. Rockwell goes on to add that he thinks members of the band may have been groomed from among Theban youth by pederastic relationships. But he does not think the band was structured as a band of lovers. I certainly expect you to moderate your opening to the article, seeing that we have two very recent sources aligning themselves with the dominant tradition. In other words, what this article needs is some distancing language of its own. 958:
historians we actually have articles on). Percy himself acknowledges Leitao but criticizes that Leitao's arguments were similarly based on suppositions, dismissing not just Plutarch, but also Dinarchus, Dio Chrystostom, Plato, Xenophon, Herodotus, Athenaeus, Thucydides, Diodorus, etc. who are the sources for much of Ancient Greek history today. Much of his arguments are based on literal mindreading based on Plutarch's supposed weasel wording.
807:? Were they also simply fabricating stuff? What about the corpses beneath the Lion of Chaeronea which Leitao dismisses simply because Plutarch does not mention it and it's 50 short, not providing an alternative explanation even then. Less can be said for much of the history you don't dare to question because none of them involve homosexual couples. And like it or not, that is the main reason for the fame of the Band in the first place. 2237:
you have somehow come to the sweeping conclusion that there are more of these scholars around, just hiding their opinions. LOL, can you get any more vaguer than that? And please stop with the "tradition" argument. Read Leitao again, and understand how he uses the term. Come up with something solid, show me the hundreds of other scholars who dismiss the historicity of the Sacred Band, or shut up. You're grasping at straws. --

challenged by newer controversial ones. Leitao is the challenger of an established view. Regardless of how compelling his arguments might be to you, the only "peer" that has acknowledged his "hypothesis" AFAIK is Percy, and Percy opposes it. While his position certainly should not be dismissed lightly, it should not displace the more stable position of the majority of his fellow historians either. --
291: 119: 2011:
agree on. That's primarily in the interest of readability. This is after all, a historical article, not the script for a play. Leitao is unique from all of them, because he's arguing that everything about the Sacred Band is untrue. A view shared by how many exactly? You want me to split the article between several dozen on one side and Leitao on the other? That's like editing the article on

institutions. Don't conflate the two. And yes, the resurgence of interest in the Sacred Band today is primarily because of the crap about DADT in the US. That means there are just as many who would dearly love to see it dismissed to validate their view that gays should not serve, as there are those who want it to be more than what it really was to function as role models on a pedestal.
1119:"From the way Plutarch introduces this material it is clear that the notion of the Theban Sacred Band as a military unit composed of paired lovers was a variant tradition, opposed probably to a dominant tradition that simply related the unit's elite status and military prowess. His use of is a way for Plutarch to distance himself from the sensitive issue of male homosexuality." 22: 191: 180: 169: 158: 2850:. It's not actually a proper dab page though -- it contains a short article about the relevant medism, and a two sentence definition of an irrelevant medism. I will tag the medism page for cleanup. In the meantime, since there isn't an article page for the relevant medism and the dab page does contain relevant information, I am leaving in the link to the dab page. 1164:
so are Theban and Elean practices, really (during that time period of course), in terms of their social structure, particularly their attitudes to pederasty which was (apparently) freely allowed to be physically consummated (in contrast to the Platonic ideal). Remember one thing: Plato was an Athenian and "Greece" back then was far from being a monolithic culture.

inappropriately giving Knowledge's voice to the views of one modern historian - David Leitao, making it seem like his views were the most widely accepted and that the ancient sources and other modern historians were all simply mistaken. And no, the fact that this opinion is only Leitao's was not stipulated by the one who originally added them
1367:
and unlike Leitao, I believe that the band itself is wholly composed of lovers, given their origin and isolated and close-quartered circumstances (to put it bluntly, exclusively homosexual), which justifies Plutarch's later claims and Xenophon and Plato's contemporary references to the practice. The dominant tradition being that the

anything. Didn't it even strike you that Leitao was applying it only on classical scholars? Or that he was the first to propose the hypothesis? And that he did this in 2003? Munn wrote his book in 1993. Or did you really build that time machine and told him about Leitao's hypothesis as well? No my favorite color is not blue.
1671:, correct? I see you did exactly what I'm doing (in fact you did it almost exclusively), though I don't much care for the extremely informal subjective tone of your writing. The only difference seems to be that you're perfectly happy directly quoting Plutarch, Athenaeus, and Herodotus when it doesn't involve homosexuality. 2433:
misrepresented yourself as several editors over the years while pursuing this goal. Isn't that why you're here in the first place? Because you hysterically believe that editors who add content favorable to the Sacred Band are propagandists of "Boy Love"? For the uninitiated, as I initially was, check the "additions" by

With in-depth critical examinations of rhyming or wording or whatever it is you do? I'm sorry but I can't do that either.
2367:
Yep, as evidenced by Sir Gawain's confounding it with pedophilia. The lead is usually the last part of the article I expand though, as it's a summary of the main body. It's the one part of the article I have the most problem with. Feel free to propose some wording that might point this out, I'm still
2236:
Let's see... we have three scholars now out of hundreds. Only one of those explicitly challenges the assumption of the historicity of the Sacred Band. The other two are merely skeptical and not even to the point of how you're characterizing them (I doubt they're even that). And from the word "tended"
1928:
His interpretation here belongs within the tradition of an elite force, without mention of any sexual organization. So long as you continue to ignore the two traditions, the reader of your article will assume from your intro that you and your sources are always referring to a band of lovers. However,
1163:
Yes, but not in the way you think. Rockwell thinks Plutarch's use of distancing language is because the Band was itself unique in terms of other elite units, strange enough to be explicitly mentioned and strange enough that he does not identify with it. A view I've also found in other historians. But
1061:
OK, Thucydides and Herodotus are cited as exemplars of a generic argument (p 156) and they are also in the notes: Herodotus (n. 50, referring to a citation by Dover) and Thucyd. (n. 5, 36, 56), which are of marginal significance. It would be ungracious of me not to acknowledge the effort you have put
963:
And how'd you figure that it's a requirement to specifically filter the account through Leitao? I've already told you that the rationale that other sources are irrelevant because of "not being specifically concerned" with the Theban Sacred Band is groundless. I'm pointing out DeVoto, Crompton, et al.
572:
I didn't even remove Leitao's views, I merely specifically stated that it was his opinion and his opinion alone, not Knowledge's and not that of the other sources and accordingly reduced its prominence in the lead. Furthermore, it was not me who characterizes the relationships between the soldiers as
2773:
I entered the previous discussion assuming good faith and thus believed that I really could find more scholars supporting or saying the same thing as Leitao as Sir Gawain McGarson had claimed. I have still not been able to find more. Leitao, it seems is the only source that questions the historicity
2216:
Disruptive? Good luck with that one! Silly? Do my arguments really seem that way to you? Maybe I haven't explained myself clearly enough. Try again. Leitao says on p.143 that scholars have "tended" to take the lovers tradition at face value. He cites some of these scholars in footnote 1 (Dover 1965,

The references to them are merely to specify where and when it was mentioned and to credit direct quotations. The same thing you've been doing. The description of events here are from history
1513:
Hmmm. The significance of the band and the reliability of the sources are disputed in the scholarly literature. That's fact. This article still ignores those doubts. Where is there a scholarly debate in this article? The modern scholarship cited here gave me hopes that you were attempting a critique
883:
Anyway I'm currently revising the article to include a wider range of references. It will take a few days (still awaiting access to DeVoto's paper). Please do not revert anything while I'm doing it. This is definitely not among my normal topics. I have a lot of far more important things lined up for

And don't lecture me about homosexuality being a modern word, I'm referring to the same sex nature of the relationships, rather than applying a modern cultural definition to the Greek tradition. As is your claim of pedophile connotations which seems based on hysteria, the younger of the pairings are

2010:
There's not much apparent divergence because there isn't much of any when it comes to what Leitao is proposing. Other authors are merely arguing details. And I'm reflecting them as much as I can (e.g. on the lion being a Theban or Macedonian burial site), without disrupting the flow of what they do
1940:
I suggest again that you consult your source Rockwell, whose position on 2 traditions coincides with Leitao. You keep saying Leitao is the only one who takes that position. Both those authors allow for informal sexual relations within the Sacred Band. I've said twice already that the OCD, in a very

As for my own opinion on the matter, I believe Plutarch's account of 150 neatly paired off couples is also typical of literary narrative stylization when it comes to numbers. It's a stretch after all to imagine what would happen if one of them were to die, or if couples broke up. But like Rockwell,
1010:

And can you at least insert "According to classicist David Leitao" in your other additions as well? So I won't have to scour your contribs for where you've inserted this in Leitao's voice. Even without my expansion, those insertions are already violating WP:NPOV. I know you did in the Sacred Band's
2727:
From a quick glance at the talk page, it looks like this all goes back to one loser who had nothing better to do that day than twist everything here into his preferred author's perspective. Subsequent attempts to re-balance the page turned into an edit war, which was settled by giving this asswipe
2032:
I specifically looked for that "minority tradition" you kept babbling about and surprise! it's not even close as to what you were imagining it to be. It's amazing how badly you've misread Leitao and are still now applying a dichotomy on everything everyone else is saying, even when they didn't say
1651:
How many times now have you flashed WP policies and guidelines at me? You're like a police car. Anything that isn't in the Book of Common Sense is breakfast for lawyers. My point is, you are writing the article back-to-front. You were right when you said primary sources come first; they come first
1587:
And before you can complain further, yes I will give the criticism section a more thorough treatment later. But I will not, I repeat, I will not suppress the rest of the viewpoints either. I might add that I'm using primary references correctly (no they are not forbidden), if you even bothered to
1535:
I use as many sources as I can, from as many viewpoints as I can. The viewpoint echoed by the most number of sources gets more space, and in this case Leitao is the obvious minority. I do not pick and choose which one to believe in, like you were doing. I use them all. These are the very basics of

1081:
Thank you. I'm wading through a lot of unfamiliar territory here, and not even half done yet. Though it's surprisingly quite enjoyable. Anyway, I'm saving Leitao for last, and as mentioned, he will probably have to be separated into a whole new section. Unless you'd want the entire article to read

My expectation is that Leitao's findings will have a full and prominent place in this article .i.e. in the intro. Plutarch's account needs to be interpreted in the light of those findings. The other sources you mention are not specifically concerned with the Theban Sacred Band, but refer to it as

Rather, they should be attributed in the text to particular sources, or where justified, described as widespread views, etc. For example, an article should not state that "genocide is an evil action", but it may state that "genocide has been described by John X as the epitome of human evil." 1647:
I haven't even scratched the surface. I didn't search for these sources; they are the result of some cursory reading on my part. Plutarch is not an historian but a moral philosopher and raconteur. Leitao identifies 11 authors, most of them who mention the Band very briefly in passing. A well
