Well, you know what they say about Greek soldiers. They never leave their brother's behind.

How do you separate the men from the boys on a Greek freighter?
Tap for spoiler
With a crowbar.
Little known fact that Greeks invented sex. Later on Romans introduced it to women as well.
That apostrophe is doing some major lifting here.
mm yes casual ace erasure
What's more likely, that all of them were ace or that some of them were homosexual?
think musks "historically accurate" grok version will tell them?
In the scope of humanity, homophobia is a very new invention.
The conception of gender and sexuality is complicated depending on the culture. Not sure how true it is but apparently in ancient Rome, it's not considered gay if you are on top.
Bet they ran out of olive oil real fast
Gives a whole new meaning to ‘chub rub’
It's all Greek to me
ok boys, we have a volunteer!
10 years were fighting a war, most definitely with some "spoils" of war
Eventually, yes. But it took them 10 years just to breach the outer wall. They had to wait a decade before partaking in any spoils.
Consenting spoils I hope 🫣
Or maybe some CNC stuff that'd be pretty hot actually.
In the movie, I don't specifically remember them showing that (but might be mistaken, they certainly did loot Troy), but
Minor spoiler if you care
One witch character curses his men and turns them into pigs because she believes they would have stolen from her and had their way with her. Odysseus very specifically uses the argument that they didn't do those things to her while convincing her to change them back. So take as you will. You could interpret this as Odysseus's men not being rapists. But I don't really remember the dialogue or flashbacks super well, I might be forgetting something. All that said, even if it didn't happen on screen, I don't really think there's a specific reason to believe they didn't do it off screen based on the overall tone and theme of the movie.
(It's been a long time since I read the story, so it may have been different.)
Don't worry, Odysseus kept his men real satisfied.
"I want to tell you something, but please bend over first"
Greeks been doing it. Celts been doing it. Everybody been doing it!
Man this meme is getting posted a lot.
By people who don't know the Odyssee.
