* [[Older Than Feudalism]]: Achilles and Patroclus from ''[[The Iliad]]'' were more like [[Blood Knight|Blood Knight Gay]] and a [[Battle Couple]] to boot. The entire reason the two are made cousins in the 2003 movie ''[[Troy]]'' was because it was the only way the producers could think of [[Hide Your Gays| to avoid any LGBT connotations.]] Achilles's desire to enter battle with Hector is ignited when Hector accidentally kills Patroclus (thinking him to be Achilles). Note that the ancient Greek culture didn't divide people into heterosexual and homosexual but instead into active/dominant and receiving/submissive. One can assume that Achilles was the active/dominant in the relationship, although the general Trope still applies to Patroclus. |
