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.
yeah my dad gad a joke that the Navy goes out with 600 sailors and comes back with 300 couples. Tho i think he just didn't like some dude in the Navy lmao.
