1 If we can believe Plato, it will include the Ionians ‘and many others’, who condemn all homosexuality without qualification and are on that score contrasted by him with the Athenians (Symp. 182 b, 182 d). Alternatively, as Mr. D. A. Russell suggests to me, Socrates may use the third person merely for politeness' sake, to avoid the appearance of associating himself with an impolite parallel between sophists and πόρνοι.
