The Greek version of Wikipedia's take on the Sacred Band
I cannot speak Greek, but have just taken a look (with the help of Google translate!) at the Greek Wikipedia entry on this topic, my curiosity having been aroused by the previous Talk entry here. Although the article is relatively short, it spends rather a lot of time discussing the "controversy" surrounding the nature of the relationship between the "lovers" - unlike the current English version, which currently ignores this aspect. I assume this is a Greek writer's attempt at throwing around the idea they weren't really  homosexual at all.

I don't know enough on the topic, but it would be good if either the English version had at least a brief mention of this debate - if it was indeed a serious scholarly one, or if  a Greek-speaking editor could improve the Greek version if the "scholarly debate" is spurious.
