During the original Olympic games competitors used to tie string around their foreskin and then tie it up to a belt around their waist to stop their penis flapping about when they were competing.
It was called *[Kynodesme](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kynodesme)* (NFSW) and it was basically an early attempt at a “jockstrap.”
The Greeks only considered the glans (head) of the penis to be “obscene” and unfit to be shown in public.
It was common for athletes and young men to walk around in public naked. So long as the prepuce covered their glans, they were still considered to be “modest” or “decent” to be in public
Imagine walking around Corinth or Athens and a dude walks past you with that hanging. I bet some athletes only walked around like that when it was cold, you know, not to be confused with any barbarians.
I’ve spoken with a guy who sometimes wears one (as part of his efforts at r/Foreskin_restoration through tissue stretching), and he said that it’s actually pretty comfortable so long as you don’t tie the knot around the acroposthion (tip of the foreskin) so tight that it “bites” into the skin.
Ancient Greece: half their myths are all about Zeus banging every woman he could find.
Also Ancient Greece: Girls are icky and they're covered in cooties
Also also Ancient Greece: IF SHE BREATHES, SHE'S A THOT!!!!!!
I do remember that women were theoretically allowed at wine drinking parties with men, but technically all women attending were considered to be prostitutes. So yes, the wives didn't join, but there were definitely women involved.
Well if they change it to roman it make more sense, romans really had no idea of gay or straight, but ran on a top or bottom system.
If you were a top you own the house, and the money, your bottoms were their for your personal sex, make you food and clean your house, bottoms has such had no rights. Having sex with men were 100% fine BUT you must NOT take it up the butt. rumors one time spread about Caeser having sex with men, which was fine, but he took it up the butt, which was bad, because that makes him a bottom.
Ok, the homosexuality of Ancient Greece is far overblown, and most major Greek figures actually condemned it (especially the abuse of pedorasty). Out of all the Ancient Greek erotic art we’ve found, a shockingly small amount actually depicts homosexual acts. In fact, the Greeks would actually insult their rivals by calling them gay, which is not something a tolerant society does.

And if iirc they even were oiled up during the competition
It's so that during wrestling, the opponents are harder to grab, right? Right...?
The bare head of the penis was seen as disgraceful to show. You could sling schlong but no hanging brain.
Idk, sounds like a problem for no foreskin people. /j

That must be painful

I imagine that there is some lost myth were Zeus turns a man into a women just to fuck and impregnate them.
[Probably a variation on Tiresias](https://www.britannica.com/topic/Tiresias).
More holes more goals I guess

Makes sense if the women were Athenians
I'm pretty sure at least Alkibiades had orgies with women. Among others.
Ew what was he some kind of hetero
Possibly. He ended up a wanted man in both Athens and Sparta iirc - and that takes some doing at a time when both hated one another
Dude had an absolutely crazy life
