LOL!

Back to logic class for you.

BTW, the Greece of Paul's day was a monogamous culture.

Polygamy was not a custom of neither the Greeks who lived in Paul's Greece nor the Romans who ruled Paul's Greece.

But polygamy was practiced by the Jews, though not common. In fact, the Jewish law can create a situation where polygamy is the normal required behavior. If you doubt me, read up on when a man must marry his brother's widow.
