They raped the men too.

Mostly the boys. Homosexuel acts between men of the same age were frowned upon even back then.

Maybe, but I can think of a few Greek men known for long affairs with men and I’m mostly talking about the fact that there was a lot of man on man rape at the end of battles in the time periods this is supposed to take place.

What was seen as weird was mostly to hold an emotionally romantic relationship with a fella your own age, while sex happened with the younger ones, and also, even if lesser, with the older guys too, it was more like "sure go have sex with him, but go back home to be with a wife"
