it is generally a myth that many ancient greek men engaged in homosexual relationships. it was actually caused by a miss-translation. ancient greek has different words for love between people. the word for an emotional bond between 2 men and a man and a woman would be different.

People like to say that Alexander the Great was gay because he had a close male friend. I think it's just them projecting. I was listening to the Confessions of Augustin on audiobook today and he mentioned his friend who died and he had a love for. It's not gay love, it's your homeboy.

Alexander definitely wasn't gay - he was married to two women and had a son by one of them. But he also definitely wasn't totally straight. While it isn't explicitly stated anywhere that he was having sex with his friend Hephastion, it is stated quite explicitly by chroniclers that he did have a sexual relationship with his eunuch Bagoas.

How do you get to hell? Very simple: claim that you're innocent. How do you get to heaven? Very simple: Admit that you're not Innocent, you're guilty and ask for mercy. How to know if you're guilty or not? Simply: Compare your life to the Ten Commandments God gave you in the Bible. Everyone agrees that if people followed the ten commandments there would be no need for governments or police. Do not lie. Do not steal. Do not commit adultery. Do not insult God by using his name as a cuss word. There are six more but let's just leave it at that. How many lies have you told in your life? Have you ever taken anything that didn't belong to you? Jesus said, if you look at a women lustfully you've already committed adultery in your heart with that woman. How many times a day do you do that? Do you use God's name as a cuss word? Would you do that with your own mother's name? If you answer these questions honestly you know that you're guilty. God can justly punish you and send you to hell. Ask him for mercy. His name is Jesus. It's as simple as this, The Ten Commandments are called the moral law. You and I broke God's laws. Jesus paid the fine. The fine is death. Ezekiel 18:20 - "The soul who sins shall die." That's why Jesus had to die on the cross for our sins. This is why God is able to give us Mercy. Option A. You die for your own sins. Option B. Ask for mercy and accept that Jesus died on the cross for you. ❤ *Honest questions are welcome.*❤ ;;;

To claim that Ancient Greece was gay in the same way that the modern west is gay is absurd. Homosexuality has always existed but it was absolutely not accepted or promoted similarly to us now. Athens had punishments for homosexuality including sodomy with a radish. Most of all, the practice of pederasty was ABSOLUTELY not inherently p do-filic in nature. This mostly stems from a misunderstanding of the ancient Greeks’ ideas of love and its different, not always sexual connotations (and a single historian in the 70s who basically started this claim, who was later found to be padding his research) For example, Socrates was famously indifferent to the sexual nature of pederasty in his early life then completely flipped and in Republic called it animalistic and ugly.

Alexander definitely wasn't gay - he was married to two women and had a son by one of them. But he also definitely wasn't totally straight. While it isn't explicitly stated anywhere that he was having sex with his friend Hephastion, it is stated quite explicitly by chroniclers that he did have a sexual relationship with his eunuch Bagoas.

The Greeks being gay is one of the biggest psyops of all time. Metatron has a great vid on this. There is no art, no literary references, and no mythological basis for the Greeks widely accepting homosexuality. The Spartans were not gay, pederasty was is wildly misinterpreted, and physiologists explained homosexuality as an affliction and it was punishable in Athens by multiple sentences. I could go on

The fact that we have Greeks in the world today and they didn't all go extinct is enough proof that they were not, in fact, overwhelmingly predisposed to being gay.
A lot of ppl in power today, and ancient times have been creeps, that doesn't mean that as a whole they were.

Jesse is spot on
Ancient Greeks viewed sexuality very differently than us, it was a point of ridicule to be the submissive one in a "gay" relationship, the dominant one nobody cared about, and after a while you'd still be expected to marry a woman and start a family
If a gay man knows how to change a tire, can kill a spider without screaming like a girl, read a map, make a fire and other things women rely on men for, then he’s manly. If he uses a high pitch whining voice and can’t do any of the things mentioned, no, he’s not manly.

How do you get to hell? Very simple: claim that you're innocent. How do you get to heaven? Very simple: Admit that you're not Innocent, you're guilty and ask for mercy. How to know if you're guilty or not? Simply: Compare your life to the Ten Commandments God gave you in the Bible. Everyone agrees that if people followed the ten commandments there would be no need for governments or police. Do not lie. Do not steal. Do not commit adultery. Do not insult God by using his name as a cuss word. There are six more but let's just leave it at that. How many lies have you told in your life? Have you ever taken anything that didn't belong to you? Jesus said, if you look at a women lustfully you've already committed adultery in your heart with that woman. How many times a day do you do that? Do you use God's name as a cuss word? Would you do that with your own mother's name? If you answer these questions honestly you know that you're guilty. God can justly punish you and send you to hell. Ask him for mercy. His name is Jesus. It's as simple as this, The Ten Commandments are called the moral law. You and I broke God's laws. Jesus paid the fine. The fine is death. Ezekiel 18:20 - "The soul who sins shall die." That's why Jesus had to die on the cross for our sins. This is why God is able to give us Mercy. Option A. You die for your own sins. Option B. Ask for mercy and accept that Jesus died on the cross for you. ❤ *Honest questions are welcome.*❤ ;;;

Do not take God's name in vain has nothing to do with using God as a cuss word! It has to do with committing sins in his name. For instance when the Muslim terrorist flew planes into the world trade center and claimed they did it to please God...that is taking God's name and attaching it to evil intent. That's what is meant by taking his name in vain.

The Greeks used the term “ Gay “ a whole lot differently than it’s used now . There was no sexual contact in their sense of the word .
The guys voice at the beginning clearly indicates that he is not infact a heterosexual male
So, good male friendships are gay now? That either reduces the gay experience to mere friendship, or, conflate a platonic relationship to a sexual relationship. Both seem wrong.

Man where is this JLP interview at? 😂😂😂
To claim that Ancient Greece was gay in the same way that the modern west is gay is absurd. Homosexuality has always existed but it was absolutely not accepted or promoted similarly to us now. Athens had punishments for homosexuality including sodomy with a radish. Most of all, the practice of pederasty was ABSOLUTELY not inherently p do-filic in nature. This mostly stems from a misunderstanding of the ancient Greeks’ ideas of love and its different, not always sexual connotations (and a single historian in the 70s who basically started this claim, who was later found to be padding his research) For example, Socrates was famously indifferent to the sexual nature of pederasty in his early life then completely flipped and in Republic called it animalistic and ugly.

Ancient Greeks being gay isn't over stated. Neither is their "activities" with young boys.
What we were taught at university in pedagogy, is not that they were gay, but they had a young male apprentice once they decided that they don't want any more children...mind you that was about 28 years ago...
Given that accusations of homosexuality were BY FAR the most common slander that ancient Greek politicians would use to defame their political opponents, it's highly unlikely that homosexual relations were socially acceptable in ancient Greece!! That and recorded legislation that punished homosexuality even by death, even in "liberal" Athens!
