Do Ask, Do Tell: An Army of Ancient Greek Boyfriends

from Historical Homos · host Sebastian Hendra

An ancient Greek army of...boyfriends?! You may have heard tell of it somewhere in your gay little zines and Tik Toks, but do you know the full story? Join Bash for a bonus episode as he dives *deep* into the Sacred Band of Thebes – if only, sigh – an ancient Greek military experiment that led one city-state to total domination over her apparently-not-gay-enough neighbors. That is, until their utter annihilation at the hands of a notorious, warmongering, bisexual megalomaniac (guess who!). Written and hosted by Bash. Executive Produced by Zachary Quinto. Edited by Alex Toskas.P.S. Sorry about the terrible audio quality on this one. Mama will fix it for next time.For more, follow us at:⁠⁠www.historicalhomos.com⁠⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/historical.homos⁠⁠⁠⁠www.tiktok.com/@historicalhomos Hosted on Acast.
