I'm sure there might've been some weird subcultural communities here and there, just based on some of the weird and obscure experimental-type philosophers and the some of the quirky regional cults here and there.
Ancient Greek culture and Greek peoples as a whole though were nowhere near as degenerate as modern Hollywood and Academia have been trying to paint things. The oddball examples I'm thinking of were pretty rare exceptions, that usually had pretty small (if any) followings.
Plus I think most of the quirky examples weren't degenerate so much as whimsical. And I'm being vague here because I have no particular recollection of any of the names I'd come across, and it's a rather long list to go through.
Edit: Correction, brain's out of it right now. Totally forgot about the colorful details throughout Greek mythology. Even so, it's one thing to come up with weird and grotesque stories, and quite another to actually practice them.
