Odd question on Celtic battle preparation

[Maion Maroneios]

Ha ha, very funny. Here: Athenaeus in his Deipnosophists, 13.603, claims that "the Celts, in spite of the fact that their women are the most beautiful of all the barbarian tribes, prefer boys as sexual partners. There are some of them who will regularly go to bed – on those animal skins of theirs – with a pair of lovers", implying a woman and a boy. I will look for the other one saying they slept together during the invasions.

And it's Maion by the way.

Ugg! Um barbarian sleep on um skin! I don't think this Egyptian was very well travelled in the Celtic lands, somehow.
