Might be true that it happened in Sodom or might be true that it happened  
in Greece?  Actually the possibility is close to nil.   It would  benefit 
nobody and would make no sense at all.   Well maybe a  tyrant like Sadam who 
mutilated political opponents might have done something  like that to people 
he mistrusted and wanted to make an example of.    But I think that the 
Sodom bed is a metaphor for a cruel,  totalitarian regime that forces everyone 
to conform.
