Cheer up Ainia, they were both repressed homosexuals. Achilles was brought up by women and was unafraid of his feminine side. Patrocles was young and exploring his sexuality. Even the donkeys weren't safe.

It has been fun.
Thank you for making me think.
Thank you for making me laugh.
Sincerely Ainia
P.S. Would either of you like to talk about The Amazon Warrior Women in Herodotus?
From my understanding the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus is something modern humans very often achieve in life.
So it would in return be something we have trouble understanding. It is so rare for us to see two men who share close bonds with one another, willing to die, willing to protect the other, in a very strong lasting way.
I believe the relationship between the two is an example by Homer at the Ideal Friendship that a man can have within his lifetime. And we all know Achilles was very adamant about his own being and its dues.
