i WISH more people knew about age of bronze, it's literally the 'historically accurate' comprehensive and GAY adaptation of the trojan war all the accuracy warriors are clamoring for
it's a comic series written and drawn entirely by Eric Shanower, started in 1998 with those exact parameters
historically situated in the Mycenaean/Hittite cultures
drawing from nearly every text on the war from Homer to Shakespeare
explicit about the possibility that achilles+patroclus may have been meant as lovers. Shanower is gay himself, and found it important to depict them as such all the way back in 1998.
it can be read here in part or here completely (🏴☠️), but i also highly recommend supporting the artist, since this is a multi-decade passion project.
