What do you think it would have been like? I suppose much of it would also depend on your social class/status; wealthy, free, soldier, slave. But it seems like it could have been quite fun, all in all, especially given it would be an entirely pre-Christian era, without the sexual guilt such religions would bring.
Alexander the Great was rumoured to be at least bi. I dont think it was frowned upon so much as it has been in recent times. Dam Christians for ruining everything.
Article about Gay Relationships in Ancient Greece Didn't sound like a fun time for bottoms though. Bisexual top guys probably had it the best of the LGBT group
I feel like they would've been more open to it in that age. The whole opposition to it really came once the big religions started growing in power, or atleast it seemed that way.
I read about this a while ago, I don't think that the Greeks were bothered about sexuality as much as they were bothered about gender roles, and older man would marry a younger woman, so in a same sex relationship one person would have to change their gender role, which wasn't considered a particularly good thing in Greek culture.
In Ancient Greece it was important to preserve your "manhood". So even though it didn't matter which gender you had sex with, your sexual partner had to be someone younger, more "feminine" and of lower social status than yourself. And of course, a bottom. As soon as a guy got older and more manly-looking, it wasn't socially acceptable for him to take the passive role in sex anymore.
