Ancient Greece and Homosexuality
ANCIENT GREECE
The Ancient Greeks were totally open with homosexuality. Ancient Greeks believed that the relationship between a man and a boy was the most pure form of love that existed.

She was priestess of a feminine love cult and celebrated the love of women for women in poems and other writings.
