Source[edit]

The phrase "Dover extensively quotes from the records of the trial" seems misleading to me, as I'm pretty sure the source would be the following speech of Demosthenes (which is a far cry from actual 'records'): http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Public_Orations_of_Demosthenes/On_the_Embassy Geranian Nestor (talk) 13:50, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

POV check[edit]

"The work has been criticized for restricting itself to Archaic and Classical sources and for reducing an affectionate and pedagogic relationship to a dynamic of power imbalance. Though a landmark study in its time, some aspects are now seen as dated." These statements obviously need citations. I tend to agree with them, but Wikipedia articles should not be based on the options of the wiki editors. Pcap ping 00:54, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Need for additional citations template[edit]

I have removed a sentence that I think was not properly supported. In the rest of the article I see nothing that is not based in the work of Keneth Dover, Greek Homosexuality. I think it is a reliable source for the subject of the article, and therefore I am proposing to remove the tag asking for additional citations.--Auró (talk) 21:04, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done.--Auró (talk) 19:15, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Content[edit]

The introduction in the content section is not from the book. The content will be drawn from the preface of the book to avoid any confusion Major Torp (talk) 20:36, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
