I find it hilariously ironic that the one time Zeus did keep it in his pants, it indirectly caused the entire Trojan War.

When I talk about The Iliad to people who aren't into it I don't use ambiguities I straight up call Patroclus Achilles' lover because it's been almost 3000 years don't pmo we have taken many hetero couples for granted for much LESS than what they have

Book twenty-four quite literally says Achilles longed for Patroclus’s manhood and strength. No matter how you try to sway those words, it's gay.

Achilles: Mom, I'm going out to kill Hector.

Thetis: Not dressed like that you aren't young man!

Achilles (now in the shining suit of armor forged by Hephaestus): Better?

Thetis: Yas Bitch slay!

No amount of context could make this heterosexual.

The Iliad is probably one of the funniest books I ever read

Like I'll be having a not-so-good day, then remember how Hector had given himself an entire pep talk to fight Achilles. He saw Achilles running full speed towards him and proceeds to just book it.

Or when Menelaus got shot by an arrow in like in an ultimately nonfatal spot, and Agamemnon begins prematurely mourning him while he's standing there like 🧍‍♂️” you're scaring the men.”

Or when Odysseus is walking around the camps with a royal scepter and is just beating people with it if he finds them packing or suggesting to leave.

Or when Hector is brainstorming on how to face Achilles and for a moment goes, “Maybe I could talk with him, we’re both princes, we can both be rational, I could reason with him… that's a horrible fucking idea.”

I have more, but these, in particular, really tickle me.

I think Achilles's crash out on Hector was valid.
