Some historian facts about ancient greek homosexuality and ancient sex in greece between young male teenagers and their older "fatherly" partner:

The word "Homosexuality" as it is used and understood today by society is not applicable to Greek antiquity for three reasons:

First of all, most Greeks were bisexual.

Second, homosexuality and 'gay' as sexual identities are recent developments, emerging only in the 2Oth Century (our idea of what it means to be gay or a homosexual has largely been influenced by recent gay activism and the emergence of gay rights on the cultural landscape).

Third, and still mostly unknown, passion and erotic love between two adult men, the model for modern gay relationships, was generally considered unusual and held up to ridicule.

Homosexual love in Greece was love between a man and a boy (in his teenage years)

The Greek word for homosexual love between a man and a youth was paiderastia (hence pederasty), derived from pais, boy, and eran, to love, meaning emotional and sensual affection for a pais. A common synonym for beloved boys in Greek writings is ta paidika, ’the boyish.’ The youths who attracted men’s attentions ranged in age from adolescence to early manhood, as can be seen from the images that have come down to us on Greek pottery and sculpture.

Relationships with overly young boys were frowned upon then as they are now (though some Greek beloved youths would have fallen below the age of consent in many modern countries), one mark of a beloved ripe for a man’s attentions being the ability to “think for himself".
