Achilles from the battle of Troy was gay, I remember because he killed Hector in revenge for the death of his gay lover who had dressed up in his armor.
There is nothing in Homer to suggest that the friendship between Achilles and Patroclus had a sexual component. Both men had female captives to sleep with. Achilles’ wrath against Agamemnon, the central plot of the poem, flared up because Agamemnon took Achilles’ female captive.
