The ancient homosexuality differed significantly from the modern one, because it was an expression of the domination of one man and the disgrace of the other. If it took place in relation to an equal person, then it was punishable, but for example an enemy could be wished to become a male prostitute. Another form of homosexuality was sacred prostitution as part of the Inanna/Ishtar cult. The male temple personnel involved (as a passive partner) in such a form of worship had a lower status than free men. There are no records of homosexual behaviour among women.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Verbum Vitae}, author={Münnich, Maciej}, year={2021}, month={Jun.}, pages={27–48} }
