THE PROFOUND GAY LOVE STORI OF THE OLD GUARD AND SONG OF ACHILL
One of the most asked qutns of all time is: was Achill gay?
One of the ma arguments that suggt he might have been gay is the exprsn of love between Achill and his clost iend Patrocl, who he had known sce childhood. Some thk he was bisexual, sce there is evince of his romantic attachments to both men and women, while others see his ep attachment to Patrocl as a nfirmatn that he was gay. Neher Achyl, nor Plato, nor Xenophon uld have imaged Achill and Patrocl as gay.
Patrocl’ self-doubts show that his (gay) sexualy is trapped a morn tensn between ncealment and Wolfgang Petersen, Pels and Thetis would not have been disturbed by the erotic turn of their son’s iendship.
