a b Homoeroticism in the Biblical World: A Historical Perspective, by Martti Nissinen, Fortress Press, 2004, p. 24–28 Evidence of female homosexuality in the ancient Greek world is limited. [21] Most surviving sources from the classical period come from Athens, and they are without exception written by men. At least among these Athenian men, the discussion and depiction of female homosexual activity seems to have been taboo. [22] Kenneth Dover suggests that, due to the role played by the phallus in ancient Greek men's conceptions of sexuality, female homosexual love was not explicitly defined as a sexuality or category by the authors of surviving sources. [23] In another dialogue ascribed to Lucian, two men debate over which is better, male love or heterosexuality. One man protested that if male affairs were legitimized, then lesbianism would soon be condoned as well, an unthinkable notion. [53]

In classical Athens, the idea of homosexual women is briefly mentioned in the Speech of Aristophanes in Plato's Symposium. [34] Later references to female homosexuality in Greek literature include an epigram by Asclepiades, which describes two women who reject Aphrodite's "rules" but instead do "other things which are not seemly". [35] Dover comments on the "striking" hostility shown in the epigram to female homosexuality, contrasting it with Asclepiades' willingness to discuss his own homosexual desire in other works, suggesting that this apparent male anxiety about female homosexuality in ancient Greece is the reason for our paucity of sources discussing it.

Because even if women talk, and that doesn’t happen a lot in this sort of case, men don’t usually get the opportunity to listen in on such conversations.’ Many Islamic rulers were known to engage in, or at least tolerate, homosexual activity. For instance, Umayyad Caliph Al-Walid II was said to enjoy " al-talawut", an Arabic word for sex with other men. Abu Nuwas, one of the most prominent Arab poets to extensively produce homoerotic works, did so under the tutelage and protection of Harun al-Rashid. Harun al-Rashid's successor, Al-Amin, rejected women and concubines, preferring eunuchs instead. [27] Bergeson, Samantha (23 September 2022).

There are several pieces of evidence for female homosexuality in Roman Egypt. There are examples of women casting love spells to make other women fall in love with them dating from the second to fourth centuries CE. [12] These spells are unusual because they were likely commissioned by women from lower social classes rather than the elite, and because they contain the names of ancient women with homoerotic desires. [13] :73,77 For example, Herais cast a love spell on Sarapias, [12] and the following quotation is from Sophia's love spell for Gorgonia: [13] :87 Sanskrit medical texts mention "sexual act[s] in which both the parties are female". [43] The Sushruta Samhita and Charaka Samhita both classify lesbianism as a disease resulting from an atypical conception. [44] :597 The latter describes it as incurable, and states that a lesbian is "a woman who has an aversion for man and who has no breasts." [45] The term used for a lesbian in these texts is nārīṣaṇḍha. [44] :593 In addition, an Old Assyrian text writes of two women, Ewanika and Adi-matum, who had a betrothal contract for their "daughter." It is possible that the father passed away, leaving the two women as widows. [9] Ancient Egypt [ edit ] Lesbophobia adalah sebutan untuk kebencian dan stigma terhadap kaum lesbian.
