Sacred Band of Thebes: Gay or Nay?
Manage episode 412596414 series 3308246
To gay or not to gay, that is the question. The Sacred Band of Thebes was an elite unit of the Theban army comprised of purportedly 150 gay male couples totaling 300 men. This is a force that for years would remain undefeated in battle until they were wiped out to the last man by Alexander the Great. But What is their story? How did they become so famous? And why are they both not talked about enough and too much? The heroics of these men are legendary, but how much of it is legend?
