So I've been reading a few essays and papers on how ancient Greece was full of homosexual men and was, surprisingly, the norm. Mostly men that were in the army whom rarely saw their wife's. these men would bond with other men, like lovers. It was more than just a physical thing, they actually had an emotional connection with one another. Sometimes they would meet each others wife's as well. I thought his was an extremely interesting thing especially considering that this was the norm back in the day. Apparently it was part of their society for a very long time. Im surprised history classes didn't tell us about these kinds of things. Just wanted to share this with you guys! what other ancient cultures shared the same view on such openness like that of Greece's? why did it stop being ''an acceptable thing"? was it religion that interfered?
