His mother was thought to be Achilles' half sister, so he was actually his uncle.

christianity hadn't put the "gay" rules into effect yet.

Contrary to modern gay propaganda, the only form of "gayness" tolerated by the Greeks was the ritual man/boy love in which the seed of the mentor was "planted" in the pupil, thereby completing his ascent to manhood and enabling the pupil to be verile.

The greek word for the bitch translates to "wide arse" and the word for the butch translates to "hairy arse." Full-on homosexuality was not looked upon highly. Male companionship (friendship) was seen as more significant because women were not equal in society. Ergo, epic buddy stories have always been common, and throughout all cultures, from Gilgamesh and Enkidu to Riggs and Murtaw.

The activists are always trying to pull this shite with Alexander, Atilla and others. They even tried it with Napoleon, but he was such a famous horndog that they were forced to give it up.
