Speaking of the pagans he says, "Even the women pervert the natural use of their sex by unnatural acts. In the same way the men give up natural sexual relations with women and burn with passion for each other."

The ancient Israelites seemed to be aware of both men and women having sex with animals, but not aware of lesbian relations between women.
I think that it's more likely that the men that wrote the bible just didn't mind lesbians, so they didn't bother mentioning it.
Possibly the Greeks and Romans were more open about such things than the Jews. I think the guys who wrote the Old Testament were just clueless schmucks who didn't pay any attention to what was going on in the women's quarters.
