Wasn't there one scene where Hercules sees his half brother and cousin in bed together or something? What was going on there? We read something once about how there were lots of gay guys in Greece or something, but this made me really confused!

lol id love to grab a time machine and go back to see what it was really like. wonder if they really did all the stuff the stories claim XD but yeah, when Megsy found those two, i just cracked up. big deal about sexual preferences, but seriously... she dissed the insanely hot sweetheart with a mad crush on her (ie. Herc *drool*), and married his much less attractive cousin with a whiney attitude... only to find THAT lil surprise XD gotta wonder how long itd really been goin on
shareYou would probably be shocked and overwhelmed to watch the real Greeks in action via your time machine. I am sure the warriors of the time were no different than the warriors of
any period: rough and brutal, and in ancient Greece, grabbing a lot of man and boy ass. Maybe better to visit the libraries and places of art and learning Greece created, and watch those guys at work. And as bad as the Greek soldiers probably were, imagine how much more brutal the Romans must have been. I wonder what the Egyptians must have been like. We consider them the first great civilization. Human sacrifice might be an issue with any of these ancient civilizations.
Homosexuality was looked on as a disease by a lot of Spartans. The idea of man laying with man existed in Ancient Greece, but it wasn't advertised much. Most of the homosexual romances took place between older men and younger men, which they called pedestral relationships. These relationships were meant to bond men together.
You see, at the age of THREE, boys began training to be warriors. And men in their later teens were considered young warriors. Men in their twenties were worriors. Older soldiers, began courting younger warriors, so that they were bonded together, and were loyal to eachother. And in the few groups of grecian soldiers that practiced sodomy, it wasn't looked upon as a nasty act. It was looked on as an act that bonded the "master race" together as one (by master race, I mean "men"). And if you study Ancient Greek Mythology, there is a lot of pedestral and male-courted relationships that go on amongst the gods and even Herecles (Hercules), himself.
Look up the story of Zeus and Ganymede...
Hope that somewhat answers your question about it. However, if you are referring to the movie in which Megara catches Iphicles with her hubby, that was fabricated for the movie. A lot of the things in this version of "HERCULES" was fabricated. Megara never married the king. She was killed along with her children. Linus wasn't brought back to life, (I don't recall ever reading that he was). And everything that happens to Hercules, is not because people on earth were jealous of him. It was because the goddess, Hera set up traps to kill Hercules, herself.
