A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

On the other hand, he did have a partner with whom he got children, but that might be a lavender marriage. Or maybe he was bisexual, idk.
Most likely bisexual by our standards. But they viewed relationships a bit different than we do.
"Bi our standards"... Get it???
I give that one 69 out of 100.

Rigid "sexual orientation" is kind of a modern concept.
Yeah, brought about by the invention of procreation, which is a very recent the phenomenon.
lol no
Stupid procreating beings... Splits into two
I imagine that regardless of your orientation, if you’re a leader in that time period, you’re living with the undercurrent of “You MUST create an heir!”
Greek culture lacked any binary distinction.
I'm no expert on the subject, but reading Plato's dialogues lately, the Athenians of the era just before Alexander had no preclusive prejudice for gendered relations. That said, the human demographic in Plato's dialogues is very much biased towards the upper class of society, and I believe that has always slanted towards social exception through hierarchy, with a special place for the rogue aberrant who strings the bow of dogma at the edge of the tribe.
Yeah, those nobles also owned humans so like, not really representative of most of the population of Greece, probably.
Didn't they have a distinction as in, "who tops/bottoms whom and where are they on the social&/age ladder"?
