1: Honestly, I don't know what to think. I doubt we'll ever really know what happened.
2: I'd be curious to do more research into it. I do know that homosexuality wasn't always as actively reviled as it is now (and I don't just mean the Greeks). Unfortunately, queer history has a habit of being rewritten or "straight-washed" by later generations. There's actually going to be a guy talking about that at NLM's Queer History Month events.
Ah, I was skeptical about link 2 as well. I just found it hard to believe that I was hearing about it now for the first time if it was, er, canon, so to speak!
