You need to know all that, the ancient Greeks did not understand sexual orientation as a social identifier the way Western society has been carried out during the last century.

And Greek society does not distinguish sexual desire or behavior by the gender of the participants, but by the role played by each participant in sex, that of the penetrator being active or passively penetrating.

This active / passive polarization is associated with dominant and obedient social roles: active (penetration) roles are associated with masculinity, higher social status, and adulthood, while passive roles are associated with femininity, lower social status, and youthfulness.

Unique and scary
