Quite a bit to “suggest” it. Nothing that overtly states it.
It was well accepted in Homer’s time and shortly after that the two were lovers.
Alexander the Great, for example, took it as a given when he and his lover went to a shrine for the two of them.

Alexander lived some 4-700 years after Homer. Hardly a short time. What evidence do you have that that the butt-buddy connection was established in Homer's time? I have never seen any such.
