It's definitely going too far to say woman/woman sexual relationships were discouraged in Greece and Rome. I mean, they might have been. Or they might not have been. With the exception of Sappho, who was exceptional in a lot of ways, they simply don't show up in the literature. No one talks about it, so we don't even know if there was an it to talk about. Was woman-on-woman sex taboo? Was it cool, as long as I got to watch? Was it not particularly popular? We just don't know.
