Thread: iskander...gay or just weird?
Rome certainly didnt change greek cuture, it adotpted it, ever here about what happend at the baths 
. Thenn Augustus tried to bring about some moral changes, but im not sure how succesful he was.
anyways, Alexander was probably not gay, but possibly had sexual relations with men. In modern days the previous statment couldnt really be true, but it was in ancient greece.
And seriously VAE VICTUS, this topic is acceptaable, but your first post really seem like you wanted this to be closed, very, very confusing...

What? Sex with other men = gay??? It does not mean that at all, not now not ever. Gay means you have erotic and romantic feelings about persons ofthe same sex, but not those of the other sex. So sex with the same sex does not automatically make you gay, unless you only feel something for the same sex, but then again you would have been gay long before you ever had sex with anybody.In modern days the previous statment couldnt really be true, but it was in ancient greece.

Some did, some did not (have any particular laws) and some were very open and accepting of what we would call homosexual sex and or relations. The real error is asserting some broad standard morality for all of the 1000 or more independent Greek polis on the issue of sex and/or sexuality....in fact the Greek states had rules against it

The Romans were not conservatives either, ever heard of Julius Caesar and how he liked getting it? In fact the Greek states had rules against it. The Romans were just do what you feel like kind of guys.
I know about how the romans liked getting it on but I doubt that homosexuality was accepted anywere in the empire (although there was this transvestite emperor who had an african boyfriend. He was killed by his pretorian guard. Rightfully so). But I remember on Dicovery CIvilization the there was an episode on greek mythology and the ancient Greek way of life. It said that the Oracle at Delhi had made a prophesy about the how homosexuals were Servants of gods. Errrr. No gays were definetly not worshiped anywhere. Where did you get that? lol.

And Gaius Julius Caesar never caught anything thats just an ancient rumore

The Romans did romanize some things in ancient greece, maybe not the language but some of the culture they did. For example: they introduced the greek public to gladiatorial games. Even though the Romans adopted many Greek cultural properties including religion. Practically the entire Roman way of life was modelled after Greek culture but that doesn't mean that over 1500 years of Roman domination. Greece didn't accept some Roman qualities. In fact there was a Greek philosopher (cant remember his name) who said " an attaack on Rome is an attack on Greece"Rome certainly didnt change greek cuture, it adotpted it, ever here about what happend at the baths
