>No, Homer never actually casts them explicitly as lovers
And why not?
Christian puritanism?
Weren't the greeks, since time immemorial, famous "degenerates"?
Why would they have this kind of pudor?
Literary subtlety?
The pleasure of mounting a words jigsaw
for you 2 thousand years after find out?

Also, why are Achilles and his COUSIN never depicted with a "fallus erectus" in their artistic representations?

Sadly (for you) they're always flaccid :(
Did our heroes fail to get a hard-on?
Blue pill to them, bro!
This way then maybe they would act your faggot fantasies.
But maybe the greeks were too much of a repressed culture in order to depict this kind of stuff explicitly, right? OR NOT?

>Also you keep mentioning the term eros, but the ancient greek equivalent for the statement I love you is
σὲ φιλῶ (se philo) or σὲ ἀγαπῶ (se agapo). So declarations of love would not have included the word eros.
Which EXACTLY words do they use when they fuck their prize-slaves (here a real SEXUAL relationship btw) to tell us the girls were banged?

>And plz don't compare Plato's and Aeschylus' views on The Illiad with fan theories on some stupid comic book.
The problem is that they, actually, aren't just "fan theories". There's actually whole psychology books dedicated to the subject (read about "Seduction of the Innocent"). It made some buzz at the time. It even generated some internal measures of self-censorship in the industry.
So, since the word of some THIRD PARTY is worth more than that from the author himself. Sure your ancient yaoi theory is totally right, bro.

>Stop trying to mold every historical age into looking like your "trad" Christian fantasies. Even during the middle ages sexual immorality was widespread.
This, actually, just helps my point.
Why then, in a society like theirs, so openly "immoral" the proofs for your claims are so thin?
Look around our faggot world, do we hold our tongues?

Finally, don't you get tired of making the same thread over and over again?
Why don't you go and create you own queer idols instead of trying to claim every single ancient figure and story?
