Hasdrubal the Fair

[edit]

Hi, I restored this fellow's pederastic credentials, and provided the source text. Let me know if you have any questions. Haiduc (talk) 00:39, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I will go take a look!

Hi again! I've made some changes using new infomation that I found. He isn't the right age apart for a pederastic relationship so I made the proper corrections. While I was at it, I had a look through the other place where I saw you mentioned him and made the correction there as well.

I noticed there were several inaccuracies by previous people that I corrected as well. It looks like someone or some people have been adding false infomation. I have been looking at the same translation of Diogenes Laertius as they were using and I noticed that they are saying things that simply aren't there. It seems they are purposefully inaccurate because at least once if not twice, they copy the translation word for word and replace the word "friend" in the original with "eromenos." I don't know if it was meant as a joke or what. Very shocking to say the least. But I think I've caught all the errors just by searching and comparing with Diogenes Laertius. I can't say about the other sources unless I compare with them but to do that for all of them would take waaayyy too much time and there's not enough tea in my pot for that!
