I'm no admirer of Jordan Peterson, but we don't have to speculate what the religious reaction to this nudity would have been. The Jews were there among the Greeks when all this was happening, and they didn't like it at all [1]

One thing to also note is that the Jews would very much have stood out from pagan Greeks were they to run around naked, due to being circumcised.

Yeah, but Peterson is all about speculating and not about historical research. If you are interested in facts, you don't turn to people like him.
