This is an interesting point - I remember reading that heterosexual marriage with bisexual affairs was the norm in Sparta, but what was the Greek attitude towards homosexual love (as opposed to bisexuals?).
Of course, I suspect they would have regarded childless hetro marriage (due to contraception) as perverse too.
They didn't categorize themselves in those terms.
I'd suggest consulting a source that's actually researched, e.g., Wikipedia on the subject. Ancient Greek pederasty doesn't seem to have been a form of domination sex — arguably unlike a great deal of premodern heterosexual conduct.
Your link goes to an article on pederasty, i.e., sexual relations between an adult and a child. This is one of the categories Eric discusses and is not the same as what he calls "romantic homosexuality" between partners of comparable age and status.
... and your response makes it clear you didn't read it. Sigh.
