Nowadays people get offended by Lacta commercials showing gay couples or whatever, while this sketch on a newspaper from 1911 became so popular
[b]that the newspaper had to reprint it two days later.[/b]
This was actually from Easter ("Christ is risen" written with big letters) and it symbolizes the strong bonds between the Cretan and the Greek state (Crete was independent back then). It's clear from their clothes that one man is from Crete and the other one is from a Greek region.
I love this. I remember when studying about Socrates Plato and Aristotle, we were taught about how often men developed relationships between them and how it was an honour as they were thought of as superior political beings compared to women. (Misogynist yet lovely for the LGBTQ community I suppose). Lets also not forget about Great Alexander and his relationship with Hephaestion. In ancient Greece, things were different. I would certainly not mind being a male back then
