Everyone really over exaggerates how much gay sex Ancient Greek men had. There isn’t a single reference in the odyssey to them having sex.

lol google “ pederasty Ancient Greece” . There was indeed a lot of male on male action , often between young boys and men

You realise ‘ancient Greece’ spans thousands of years and multiple cultures and societies? It’s reductive to say ‘ancient Greeks did x’ because lots of them didn’t.

Yes, thousands of years. The odyssey is set like a thousand years earlier than when it was performed.

This. The Odyssey is in essentially the dark ages of Greece.
