Historical Homos

An ancient Greek army of...boyfriends?! You may have heard tell of it somewhere in your gay little zines and Tik Toks, but do you know the full story? Join Bash for a bonus episode as he dives *deep* into the Sacred Band of Thebes – if only, sigh – an ancient Greek military experiment that led one city-state to total domination over her apparently-not-gay-enough neighbors. That is, until their utter annihilation at the hands of a notorious, warmongering, bisexual megalomaniac (guess who!). Written and hosted by Bash. Executive Produced by Zachary Quinto.
