Their lovers and favorers, too, had a share in the young boy's honor or disgrace; and there goes a story that one of them was fined by the magistrates, because the lad whom he loved cried out effeminately as he was fighting. And though this sort of love was so approved among them, that the most virtuous matrons would make professions of it to young girls, yet rivalry did not exist, and if several men's fancies met in one person, it was rather the beginning of an intimate friendship, whilst they all jointly conspired to render the object of their affection as accomplished as possible.

白话

在斯巴达,男孩的恋人和支持者也分担他的荣誉或耻辱。有个故事说,其中一人被官员罚款,因为他所爱的少年在战斗中发出女人气的哭喊。尽管这种爱在他们中间如此受认可,以至于最贤德的已婚妇女也会对年轻女孩表示这种感情,但不存在竞争;如果几个男人的爱慕集中在同一个人身上,这反而会开始一段亲密的友谊,他们共同致力于让所爱之人尽可能完美。核心是:斯巴达将个人情感关系与公共荣誉绑定,形成一种集体教育机制。

上下文
