Didn't like every Greek have some slave boy they fucked on the side

It feels like homosexuality was more accepted in that era than in any other in history

I can't remember the exact rules that generally governed homosexuality. Iirc as long as you were the older, active/dominant partner or the younger submissive/passive partner it was considered acceptable. That's not counting weird special status that you got to have if you were a priest of some sort which let you have other things.

But as for the second? Fuck no. They were too patriarchal. Two women having sex was confusing and weird to them to the extent that they didn't even see it as sex and again, outside specific cults and priestess roles, fucking between women was dishonorable.

Meanwhile in other civilizations they were like "You gay? Cool. You trans? You have magic powers" the Greeks were not great. Better then the Romans but I'm not sure that says much.
