by contrast, the french renaissance essayist montaigne, whose view of love and friendship was humanist and rationalist, rejected "greek love" as a model in his essay "de l'amitié" ("on friendship"); it did not accord with the social needs of his own time, he wrote, because it involved "a necessary disparity in age and such a difference in the lovers' functions". because montaigne saw friendship as a relationship between equals in the context of political liberty, this inequality diminished the value of greek love. the physical beauty and sexual attraction inherent in the greek model for montaigne were not necessary conditions of friendship, and he dismisses homosexual relations, which he refers to as "licence grecque", as socially repulsive. although the wholesale importation of a greek model would be socially improper, "licence grecque" seems to refer only to licentious homosexual conduct, in contrast to the moderate behavior between men in the perfect friendship. when montaigne chooses to introduce his essay on friendship with recourse to the greek model, "homosexuality's role as trope is more important than its status as actual male-male desire or act ... "licence grecque" becomes an aesthetic device to frame the center."
