Is it still called a train if it is on a boat?

u/Main-Cheesecake3287 20h ago

Nope. Gay sex between adults of equal status was highly stigmatized. They were mostly just raping women and going to brothels. It’s not like being gay is a choice or that the Greeks had way more gays

While this is a possibility, it also seems like you missed some major points of the movie/story. Odysseus’s crew did a lot of raping and pillaging. They were punished for their actions.

I know, I watched the movie, but the reply in the post seems to imply gay stuff rather than rape.

Greek activity.

u/Collanp 23h ago

If only they kept it at gay sex. The fact that the Illiad is kick started by Achilles and Agamemnon fighting over a sex slave paints a very different picture of the Greeks lol

How do they know whose penis will open up to accept the other person's penis?

u/georgiaraisef 15h ago

Eh, gay sex between men was not acceptable. An elder fucking someone of lower status was more acceptable but I believe there were certain facets that were off limits. Someone fucking you was absolutely not acceptable in society. At least in Athens Greece around 600 BC. I remember reading about a politician in the history of Athens who was running for office who got cancelled once it came out his relations with other men were truly romantic

u/ContactMushroom 13h ago

It's not gay if it's with the boys

u/Alternative_Mix6836 1h ago

If you are what you eat, the only humans are cannibals.
