About John Addington Symonds, the Author:

10 Aware of the taboo nature of his subject matter, Symonds referred obliquely to pederasty as 'that unmentionable custom' in a letter to a prospective reader of the book, but defined 'Greek love' in the essay itself as 'a passionate and enthusiastic attachment subsisting between man and youth, recognised by society and protected by opinion, which, though it was not free from sensuality, did not degenerate into mere licentiousness.' ...Symonds also translated classical poetry on homoerotic themes, and wrote poems drawing on ancient Greek imagery and language such as Eudiades, which has been called 'the most famous of his homoerotic poems': 'The metaphors are Greek, the tone Arcadian and the emotions a bit sentimental for present-day readers.'
