Two thoughts . . .
by thelyamhound

First, I would never have thought to suggest that morality and virtue were distinct; I always thought of virtue as a moral measure, a unit of abstract value.

Second, you illustrate that some Greeks considered homosexuality immoral (if not necessarily unvirtuous), but do nothing to illustrate that this contradicts the points made by either the review's author or the book's, namely, that "alternative" erotic relationships, regardless of how they were looked upon vis-a-vis morality, weren't looked upon as particularly threatening socially.
