Actually, it was the color of juniper berries, used to make Alex's gin. The sound of his wench shaking up martinis had 'em running.

Was Alexander really a homosexual?

I heard a version of this joke 20 years ago.

I really don't know. From what I've read, Alexander was bisexual, like many Greek men of his day. He was married, but didn't seem particularly fond of his wife. It's hard to know the truth of these things because of the penchant of academia to try to out historical figures as "gay" to advance the agenda.

Trying to define Greeks as gay or straight is an anachronism IMHO, as Greeks did not regard homosexual relationships as the equivalent of marriage.

prescient is derived from Latin as well

Homosexual is Latin. Perhaps Alexander was autonomous, or hydrophobic. Or, in keeping with your question, Sapphic, although that is generally used for women.

If so, I don't want to hear about those "staff meetings".
