Hi Limitorder. I'll reply here rather than on your user page. Why are you mentioning Solon's interest in homosexuality? The debate is about his promotion of pederasty. Thucydides was a better historian than Plutarch and he had personal experience of the events he was describing. Even so, no modern scholar would accept the account by Thucydides unless it fitted in with evidence from other sources. There is absolutely no supporting evidence that Solon made any laws about pederasty. I think he was a bit too busy trying to stop a civil war to worry about issues like that.
