Plato - Men Have Always Been Like That | Greek Boy Love | Artwork Pictures
„Hey Plato, men have always been like this"
Two young men in ancient Greek garments, hand in hand on a terrace with classical columns. The sun bathes the scene in warm gold, the mountains in the background blur in soft blue and pink. A scene from ancient Greece – and a clear message to all who claim that gay love is "new" or "unnatural".
Men have always been like this.
This canvas wall art is an ironic tribute to ancient Greece, to Plato and his philosophy about love between men, to the famous boy love (pederasty) in ancient Greece. It shows what the ancient Greeks already knew: love between men is as old as humanity itself.
The artistic depiction in the style of classical Greek painting with warm beige, cream, and gold tones creates a timeless, elegant atmosphere. A statement piece for all who know history – and love irony.
What makes this artwork special:
- Historical context: Ancient Greece, Plato, boy love – gay love is ancient
- Subtle irony: "Men have always been like this" – the perfect response to homophobia
- Classical painting style: Warm pastel colors, ancient garments, classical columns
- Warm color palette: Beige, cream, gold, soft pink and blue
- LGBTQ+ history: We have always been here

Nothing is more beautiful than...
In Japan, during the annual fertility festival, they parade giant symbolic phalluses through the city. I confess, I, being crazy about cocks, wish we had this gesture in our culture too. As boys, we wake up one morning with a wooden feeling between our legs, and from then on, there's no peace. During puberty, it stands up at every inappropriate moment, no matter what we're thinking. Later, it reminds us every morning, having turned into a latte, that it controls us. That's no real excuse for harassing women with dick pics. But as gay men, we at least have one privilege: we are quite free to show each other our tools and be ecstatic about the other's. To art that elevates our fantasy
