the claim

Same-sex relationships between men were common and socially accepted in ancient Greece.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Same-sex relationships between men were common and socially accepted in ancient Greece?

Partly. The retrieved sources partially address the claim: one Wikipedia article notes same-sex relations existed in ancient Greece, while another stresses that the most common form was pederasty among elites and that general social regard is unclear. A book fragment and a legal essay loosely suggest acceptance, but none of the items settles how common or socially accepted such relationships were.
