does this look gay?

Question

Son of the sea nymph Thetus and mortal father Peleus, Achilles is the mightiest mythology warrior in the Iliad. Before his encounter with his Achaean army, as he was an infant his mother wished for Achilles to be immortal. In resent documents, there are thought of to be two ways the moral of the story goes. One idea has been that when he was a child, thetus tried to make her son immortal by dipping Achilles in the river of Styx. The procedure was also explained as unsuccessful due to the poor treatment for immortality, ambrosia by day and fire by night. And the other side explains that Achilles heal was either left vulnerable, but either way Pelues intruded on her plans and she abandoned the two.
It has been said that Achilles ability to act with nobility and integrity is impeded by his constantly flawing deep seated character. In the Iliad, the book of Homer, Achilles is introduced to the Achaean army; there he pledges he is willing to sacrifice everything so that his name will be remembered. As a young man, this warrior strives to live a long, easy life, but he knows that his personal fate forces him to choose between the two. (Iliad) Although this heroic warrior does not die in the Iliad, his fate lies in the Achaean army and there well carved shields and armor, thus the only part of him that is left vulnerable is his heal and neck.
In the battle of Troy, Achilles mauls his opponents, and brazenly takes on the river Xanthus in a one-on-one duel. After that following scene, Patroclus, Achilles’ best child hood friend, is killed by Hector and the fuel that was once raged against Achilles king is now captivated towards this son of King Prian. At Patroclus’s Pyre, it has been said that Achilles savagely sacrificed 12 Trojan soldiers, showing his mere sympathy for others. Later, Achilles challenges Hector to a duel, and in the end Achilles is left standing with the victory, and ignobly desecrates the corpse of Hector. Of all the excessive killing, King Prian begs for the return of Hectors corpse, showing that this scene gives an example of the king merely testifying to Achilles capacity for grief.
This perplex warrior is shown to be the most brave and powerful mythology character in the Iliad and ends after the Trojan War. History claims that Achilles is to been killed by Paris with a poisoned arrow that was guided by Apollo, which punchered his heel. This vigorous legendary book of Homer explains how the gods take interest in human affairs,
due to the fact that the Iliad was and Trojan war was conducted because an affair was held between Helen and Paris Corythus. Which forced Anenor to declare the return of Helen to Menelaus, a beginning of the Trojan War.

Answer 1

No it doesn't

Answer 2

If you've studied any Greek mythology, you would notice that the Greeks placed huge emphasis on strong masculine bonds, often including homoerotic love. A relatioship of any kind between two men was more special and important than one between a man and a woman. For reference, you might want to look at the myths of Apollo and Hyacinthus, or Zeus and Ganymede. You should also look at the history if the militant city-state of Sparta, where boys and men were especially encouraged to have that kind of relationship. Another interesting note is that in none of these exemples are any of the men exclusively homosexual. Zues chases more women than anyone else, apollo chases Daphne until she turns herself into a tree to be rid of him, and Spartan men were required to marry and produce more Spartans, but I'm digressing. In short: Yeah, achilles might have had a gay love affair with Patroclus but it doesn't explicitly say so in the Iliad. Also, Achilles was not exclusively homosexual, as can be seen by his relationship with that priestess, I forget her name, it has been a few years since I read the Iliad.

Answer 3

In my opininion the 'gay' thing in Illiad was the relation between Achilles and Patroclus. Achilles was very raged when Patroclus died, and I don't think they're just friend. could be they were lovers?

It's similar to Alexander the Great with his boyfriend Hephaiston.

Both Achilles and Alexander died in young age in their glory that will be remembered forever. Both died in land far from their homeland.

It's amazing how sometimes mythologys are similar to real history,huh?

in their time there's no such thing like 'gay'. In ancient Greek culture, it was very common for man to have both girlfriend or wives and boyfriends. and in the Sparta women can also have girlfriends and boyfriends
