I don't know if you guys know anything UK A levels, but I'm doing my OCR year 13 history coursework soon. I was hoping to do mine on the similarities (and differences) between ancient Greek and Roman attitudes towards homosexuality. In your expert opinion, anons, do you think there's enough similarity between the cultures to make this work? I've got some sourcebooks and stuff in mind but I worry it might just be a case of 'they agree on this one point but nothing else'.
Tyvm in advance

Well I'm certainly not an expert on the history of boipussi but if I remember right they both had the same conception of sexuality, that is dominant-passive instead of straight-gay. So a respectable man could pound boipussi or get his dick sucked by another male but were he to be the receiver or the giver for those actions respectively, it would be a shameful thing for him.
Where they differ is that I don't think pederasty was a institution in Rome, at least not to the extent of places in Greece like Sparta.

That's what I found as well, anon, but I'm not sure if that's enough material for a 3,000 word essay.
I was planning on doing that, as well as attitudes in the military and towards lesbians but I dunno

Can't help you there. I don't know if there's any prominent Roman philosophy by which to compare Greek thought on love between men, ala the Symposium. Might be a place to start.

Also why are you doing Greece and not the holocaust, it's far more interesting and you can then prove both the left and the right wrong about it
