Sounds like you need to go to court! Most historians who study your topic focus on court speeches because they are all about slandering your opponent and airing his dirty laundry so that the jury hates them. The best I can think of for homosexuality (or rather deviant sexuality) is Against Neaera by Apollodorus (although it was attributed to Demosthenes and is sometimes called pseudo-Demosthenes). Have you been looking at the work David Cohen (two separate links)?
Interesting. I placed the order for the book ..
Nice! I believe your theory here fits with a few others I've read, it really gets to the point: out with the old and in with the new, but not without a little bloodshed.
You'd probably really like When They Severed Earth From Sky by Elizabeth Wayland Barber and Myth: A Very Short Introduction by Robert A. Segal
Would like to know too.
All I've ever had is http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0140513353/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1419895309&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40
One of the best introductions that I read was Democracy and Classical Greece by J. K. Davies. It's a relatively slim volume, but it's readable and covers lots of the bases – plus it's quite cheap on Amazon.
Tom Holland's Persian Fire is a very readable account of the Persian Wars (c.494-478 BCE), which also comes highly recommended. It's generally pretty accurate, although he doesn't shy away from including all the sensational and salacious details, which most 'proper' histories probably wouldn't include.
Finally, I'd recommend G. E. M. de ste. Croix's The Origins of the Peloponnesian War, which (as the title suggests) focuses a little more on the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BCE) rather than the 5th century as a whole. That said, it's very readable and was hugely influential, although it might be a little expensive.
There's always Pharr's Homeric Greek if you want to dive straight into Homer, and skip the fluff... (it's for beginners)

I learned Koine (Biblical Greek) from the Mounce book.
Classical Greek is much more complicated.
Koine is usual taught to grad students in two semesters.

You could try Robert Graves' accounts:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Greek-Myths-Complete-Definitive/dp/0241952743/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369646616&sr=8-1&keywords=greek+myths
Or more contemporary: Apollodorus, a Hellenistic scholar who tried to collate the myths in one volume:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Library-Mythology-Oxford-Worlds-Classics/dp/0199536325/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1369646747&sr=1-1&keywords=apollodorus
Bear in mind though that many of the myths were continually changed, evolving and being re-written. There are no definitive versions.
You should probably also steer clear of calling them parables, as the word doesn't really apply.
