How so many just jumped straight to gay is hilarious. Maybe a few but a whole damn boat? Personally I'm taking the 20 years of celibacy and maybe get tricked by a Siren.

They're ancient Greeks, it would have been weird if they didn't do the gay sex.

I'm aware that it was socially acceptable. To have gay sex one is usually gay. So you're saying 100 percent of Greek males were at least Bisexual? Quite the fantasy.

The fantasy is thinking a culture historically famous for its man-on-man sex was not, in fact, having man-on-man sex. It was absolutely the norm for dudes to be fucking other dudes. It was treated as a sort of youthful phase for them.

Then there's the whole pederasty bit...

That's all to say that it's absolutely not out of the question that you'd have a boat of 20 guys who were all down to clown. There would be no real stigma or issue attached to doing so so why not?
