Was it because they were all gay as fuck and wanted an excuse to go see a bunch of /fit/ dudes?

There was little else to do than banter and mire fit dudes at the time because women stayed in the house and they had slaves to work.

Weren't actually very many slaves in Athens, comparatively. Women didn't necessarily stay in the home either.
