I did dig into this and it turns out I was on the right track. A few Modern "historians" have been trying to revise history with some skechy interpretations of ancient literature thinking it meat that figures were gay or approving of gay relationships. While ignoring all the other literature and context.

If you dig into each of the examples in your link you'll find no evidence.

Ancient Greeks and Roman's hated gays and all throughout their literature they use gay as an insult. That thing about only the bottom being gay is also horseshit. If you lay at all with a man they considered you a homosexual.

What's your opinion on the Sacred Band of Thebes?

Sorry, app glitched and replied to wrong comment.

Thebes was a strong end to the sacred band saga. I thought it did a good job tying up the story ends. It turns out the real sacred band was the band of friends we made along the way.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
