i know the greeks werent into that either. i think it was pretty much a jewish practice at the time. i have read reports of jews in the hellenic middle east undergoing some forms of re-constructive surgery. this was to help them fit in socially as in the bath houses and gymnasiums, nudity was the norm and the cut jews stood out as freaks (i.e to the uncircumcised people of the time who saw them naked. Hence the fact that some people underwent surgery to try and and hide what had been done).
