Trivia:

In ancient Greek history, the most famous "homosexual army" is the Sacred Band of Thebes. This unit was renowned on the Greek battlefield in the 4th century BC and once shattered the myth of Spartan invincibility.
Here are the core facts about this legendary unit:
1. Composition of the army: 150 pairs of lovers
The Sacred Band of Thebes was made up of 300 elite heavy infantry, with a very unique organizational principle: it consisted of 150 pairs of homosexual lovers.
The reasoning behind this: Ancient Greek thinkers (such as Plato in the Symposium) believed that if a soldier fought alongside his lover on the battlefield, he would exhibit extraordinary courage to avoid shame in front of his partner or to save him at the risk of his own life.
