Burton spoke of the existence of what he called the “‘Sotadic Zone,’” a reference to the third-century B.C. Greek-Egyptian poet Sotades, who wrote homoerotic poetry. (...) The Sotadic Zone encompasses not only Arab countries in Africa from “Morocco to Egypt,” (...) but also “meridional France, the Iberian Peninsula, Italy and Greece.” Inside the Sotadic zone “the Vice [homosexuality] is popular and endemic, held at the worst to be a mere peccadillo, whilst the races to the North and South of the limits here defined practise it only sporadically amid the opprobrium of their fellows who, as a rule, are physically incapable of performing the operation and look upon it with the liveliest disgust.”
