teashoesandhair: the-obtrusive-boat: nonchalant-triceratops: poseyslegtattoo: I’m sorry but didn’t Plato once write an analysis on why Achilles was the bottom in the relationship? Didn’t the Greek city of Thebes have an elite band entirely comprised of same-sex couples? Didn’t Spartan men casually sleep together so much that new brides were encouraged to cut their hair in order to ease soldiers into heterosexuality? Didn’t the Diogenes of Sinope, one of the founder of Cynicism, accuse Alexander the Great of being “ruled by Hephaestion’s thighs”? Didn’t Aristotle describe Alexander and Hephaestion’s relationship as “two souls in one body”? NOPE N O T H I N G BUT H E T E R O S IN GREECE.

Tom Stoppard) Pretty hard to read a ‘no homo’ slant into that, really. Just two bros, kissing and admiring each other’s thighs. Y’know. Guy stuff. -- source link
