Alcibiades the Schoolboy

Alcibiades the Schoolboy (L'Alcibiade, fanciullo a scola), an Italian dialogue published anonymously in 1652, is a defense of homosexual sodomy (anal sex) loosely styled after Socratic dialogues.

The dialogue depicts Socrates trying to consummate his pederastic relationship with his student Alcibiades. Part of the story is devoted to refuting the anti-homosexual arguments which were based on the biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah. The text has been attributed to either Pietro Aretino or Antonio Rocco.
