Like their male gods are literally fucking a male mortal bru. So why would the author make a homophobic a character (a high ranking/educated at that) that probably knows the myths and stuff lol
Yes! But they had a bias against bottoms mostly
its "Work of fiction" so what u expect?
even if the source material come from the say era..at some point, the author "Maybe?" is using her original Idea to mix in it to..that my opinion.
Homosexuals , like loving men ? Historically , no . You could fuck a man who is a sl@ve or of lower political status than you but it was controversial to 'love' a man as in having romantic relationship with him , atleast among the Roman elites .
That part is historically debatable , many myths have been mixed and misinterpreted over the years so it is not that simple
Isn't sodomy or homosexuals are like quite common in that era?? Like the only (mostly) thing that's bad in that era is being poor lol.
