I don’t know what the study is but if you’re talking about homosexuality in antiquity, there’s simply too much evidence to ignore. There’s also a lot more than “a few pieces of pottery”. There’s at least 1,000 surviving pieces of pottery depicting homosexual acts, and way more pieces of pottery with kalos inscriptions dedicated to males. So many prominent poets from the Archaic to the Hellenistic era wrote homoerotic poetry (Ibycus, Anacreon, Simonides, Sappho, Callimachus, Theognis, Theocritus, Virgil, Martial, Horace, Catullus). So many major playwrights included homosexuality in their works (Aristophanes, Aeschylus, Plautus) or themselves were said to have engaged in homosexuality (Sophocles, Euripides). So many major historical personalities had homosexual affairs and desires attributed to them (Socrates, Plato, Solon, Aristides, Alcibiades, Epaminondas, Lysander, Parmenides, Zeno of Citium, Sulla, Trajan, Hadrian). So many gods and heroes were described as having homosexual affairs too (Zeus, Apollo, Orpheus, Heracles, Achilles).
Everyone who has ever had a classical education knows that homosexuality was a public and significant part of life in Ancient Greek and Rome. Pic related. It is only now that classical learning and the teaching of Greek and Latin have disappeared that this revisionist nonsense can gain traction
