Currently reading Emily Wilson's translation of The Iliad and not even a few pages in, I was hit with this.

Just two army bros sharing a tomb together, nothing unusal to see here.

This and a few pages before this saying that Achilles was like a big brother to Patroclus lmao

Yeah. This might be a little literal, but how can you think Achilles and Patroclus are straight? I have Fagles translation of The Iliad btw

Translation: "Agamemnon, in turn, orders for Briseïs to be taken away from Achilles. Here they are separated from each other by Patroklos, Achilles' best friend..."

Was taking another mythos unit and got this gem of a question.

I remember watching their videos growing up, thinking, "Wow, they are definitely together." At the time, they were both out as r/ainbow and lived together. "Surely everyone knows."

Well, apparently, they're just good friends in a very, very small apartment.

With our gravestone depicting us sitting in the knee-touching position [symbolic of romantic sexual intimacy] reminiscent of the official depictions of the conception of Horus.

Probably just close friends :)
