古風時期
Paul Cartledge, of the University of Cambridge, described Percy's "Pederasty and Pedagogy in Archaic Greece" (1996) as the first work to try to go beyond Kenneth Dover's "groundbreaking" "Greek Homosexuality." Dover's work, influenced by pseudo-Freudianism, was very homophobic. Cartledge noted there were finer works in German that were translated into English before Dover wrote.
