No, ironically the Spartans in the movie made fun of the Athenians by calling them boy lovers. Which is hilarious considering that Spartan society was way more homosexual than Athenian society.
Idk, maybe if there was even a single reference to Spartan homosexuality then maybe. But Spartans were just depicted as beautiful strong who all loved their beautiful strong wives.
Lol, I think you might be giving it more credit than it deserves. I’m not sure if there is a lot of subtext in the movie 300. The writing in that movie is pretty minimal and straight forward. It’s just a shoddy framework for some interesting (for the time) visual effects.
That is unless you think Zack Snyder was purposely creating media that would fascinate future chuds for years to come. Imo it’s just the movie your average 14 year old boy would make in the 00s.

I always interpreted it as a Spartan preference for grown men over boys.
Like more Freddie Mercury and less Judy Garland, please.

The subtext speaks louder than the text in 300.

Subtext need not be intentional.
