'Homosexuality is a disease, a compulsive, unpleasant, and destructive behavior akin to manias like eating dirt or chewing one's fingernails.''

Discussion
I seriously doubt that quote can be accurately attributed to Aristotle. His writings discuss different forms of attraction and friendship, but this specific wording and concept of 'disease' related to homosexuality seems anachronistic for 4th-century BC Greece. Can you provide a specific source from his works (e.g., Nichomachean Ethics, Politics) that contains this quote?
aren't the Greeks from that time the ones that would keep enslaved young boys for sex?
