It was a reference to the ancient Greeks' habitual boffing of boys
rather than any knowledge of statistics relating to european variations in penis size, to be honest.

Although I suspect the accurate statistic Europe-wide would be "smaller than blokes say they are"

I don't think they were that keen on bumming each other, though.
It was more hand shandies etc.

Was it?
I thought they did the whole "go off into the hills with another chap and learn to be a man" kind of thing so that they knew how to "service"* their wife after marriage?

*presumably if they learnt from blokes, "discuss the finer points of the offside rule over a couple of beers then 30 seconds up her dirtbox"

I'm not so sure about that.
It's a very long time indeed since I studied this stuff but I've found that my 'I think I'm right' feelings are fairly reliable. I was under the impression that bumming was not the favourite sport people believe it to be.

Anal penetration was for whores and persians.

Depends which part of Greece
As Monty says, not much actual bumming, but quite an obsession with the thighs.

Intercrural sex.
Sexy.
