Was same-sex marriage allowed in Ancient Greece?

No. The concept of homosexuality was different in Ancient Greece. Rather than a lifestyle, it was considered a hobby and was widely practiced by men who were married to women and had children. There was no dichotomy between straight and gay. Although the same spectrum of sexuality probably existed then as it does today, the culture of the time had a different understanding of the significance of sexual activity.
