Against Timarchos calls men who are very agitated by the love of boys "wild men".[1] And
Menander says a gambler is "wild" if he is too eager for gambling.[2]
The ancients used to call pederasts "wild" and
kollopodioktes[3].
[Note] that the comic poets used to make fun of the Acharnians as wild and rough. See under
