Simon David Goldhill(born 17 March 1957) is Professor in Greek literature and culture and fellow and Director of Studies in Classics at King's College, Cambridge.[1]

He criticized the pathologization of hebephilia[2] and opposed the concealment of the sexual nature of man-boy relations in ancient Greece.

"But fortunately for historians, Ancient Greek pederasty is always there to throw a spanner in the machine of the ideologues who believe that human sexuality has a natural and ineluctably proper form."
"Greek pederasty is argued over so intently because it poses so sharply the question of the nature of male desire in society."[3]
