Default Odd Beloved thing.

I was looking up Aristotle today, and wikipedia had an odd term I hadn't seen before, so I clicked.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eromenos

It was about the greek tradition of taking young men to be sort of lovers (some how... sex was involved but it wasn't sexual)

Anyway, it lasted until they were 17 or so, then picked ones of their own about 13. (Sound like SoubiXRitsuka anyone?)

The odd thing... the traditional but not quite accurate translation is... Beloved. Semei's name.

that's absolutely crazy. Woah. And there's no way it's just a coincidence, right?

That is a little weird. Well Ritsuka was 12 when they met, but he's 13 now so.... That is either a freaky coincidence or it was meant to be like that. I dunno, but that's cool.

Very strange indeed. Almost definitely coincidental...?

I knew that the ancient Greeks were into that stuff, but I was not aware of the connection. Nice find.
