Aeschines in the speech 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 kollopodioktes3.
[Note] that the comic poets used to make fun of the Acharnians as wild and rough. See under drakharneu.4
