I saw the movie alexander, and it is interesting to see how men having a preference for men was viewed. is this an accurate representation of how the ancient greeks saw hmosexuality?

Hey sportacus, thanks for your question. "gay" and "lesbian" are modern terms to define sexual orientation. that being said, did what we define as homosexuality exist in ancient greece? you bet it did! the first and most important point is that most ancient cultures did not define people by their sexual orientations. homo-sexual activities were significant in ancient greece. far more than alexander depicts! in fact, the movie alexander is rather tame. having been cut down even from its original version that showed far more homo-erotic activities than the version shown in theatres. many greece stories and myths depict same sex lovers and homo-erotic activities. so much so that homosexuality is more of a norm than not. for more information, browse the website i have listed below. nice luck!
