"One day , two men, a Greek and an Italian were sitting in a coffee shop discussing who had the superior culture.
Over triple lattes the Greek says, "Well, we have the Parthenon."
Arching his eyebrows, the Italian replies, "We have the Coliseum."
The Greek retorts, "We Greeks gave birth to advanced mathematics"
The Italian, nodding agreement, says, "But we built the Roman Empire."
And so on and so on until the Greek comes up with what he thinks will end the discussion.
With a flourish of finality he says, "We invented sex!"
The Italian thinks for a moment and then replies, "Ah, yes, that is true, but it was the Italians who introduced it to women."

There is no actual historical evidence. But the myth is that it was encouraged in the Spartan Army. The reason being that a soldier would fight harder in battle to save the man he loved. In the ancient times homosexual was normal and accepted. It is not until more modern times that society became more ignorant such as en-slaving people because of their skin color and believing that homosexulity is wrong.
