Actually, Lesbian literally means "from the (Greek) island of Lesbos".
It acquired its metaphorical sense from the ancient Greek lady poet Sapfo, a native of the island, renowned for her female homosexual love poems.

I guess the metaphor was created in post-ancient (i.e. Judaeo-Christian) times, since in ancient Greek culture most people were bisexual, fullly retaining their masculinity and femininity, respectively, though. Sex was something you did; not something you were.

Today's "pride" parades (actually, indecency parades) would have caused ancient Athenians to vomit, while ancient Spartans would have reached for their swords.

Remember, that would happen in societies where most people were having sex with both sexes.
If asked, they would reply "I 'm a man" or "I 'm a woman".

Sounds like most of them would be saying “I’m tired”

The Greek treatment…but I’m sure he said “I’m a man” so it’s ok…
