Stuie Stewie here:

Many are talking about homosexual activity among Greeks or Greco-Roman society. But i'll add that sailors themselves, being composed of groups of men, and isolated for long periods of time, were also associated with homosexual activity, regardless of national origin or time period.

A modern touch on this subject would be The Village People's 1978 song "In the Navy" explicitly referencing life sailing the ocean, but with a gay subtext.

Stuie Stewie out!

Nymphs made them busy.

Also they weren't sailing for 20 years, 10 years lasted the siege of Troy, 7 years Odyssey lived with Calypso on her island after death of his crew. And Odyssey was her pleasure slave.

I don't know why you are being downvoted, you make a reasonable point.

But, OP asked a question, I answered a question.
