Look what pregnancy has done to Salma.
Lordy.
In fact, there was no gay in Greece AT ALL EVER.
So all the local gay personal ads talking about greek v. french are based on an historical misunderstanding?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The Greeks just sat around talking about philosophy and democracy and stuff. And every once in a while they kicked Persian ass.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, there was that unspeakable perversion of the Greeks. But we can't speak of it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Also, there was no gay in Sparta. Nope. No sir. Not at all. In fact, there was no gay in Greece AT ALL EVER.
Not in Frank Miller's Sparta, that's for damn sure. You can tell he's TOTALLY NOT GAY by the way all the TOTALLY NOT GAY Spartan warriors' leather miniskirts are showing off their TOTALLY NOT GAY oiled muscular legs.

Those aren't not-gay leather miniskirts, they're not-gay leather man-panties. EVEN MORE NOT GAY.

Perhaps Mr. Gilchrist needs to examine his personal motivations more closely before he is ready to offer a balanced assessment of Spartan sexual mores and conduct.
Heh.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
The whole "I am going into batle with no armor on! Also, I think leather underpants are awesome -- they breathe so well!!" issue is a big non-starter, for me.
They kind of got it reversed. I've read that the Spartans would often fight wearing leather breastplates (the bronze shield still being their major protection) and au naturel from the waist down. Pity Gerard Butler and David Wenham couldn't be convinced to push for historical accuracy.
