Just finished reading this. I think I understood it. Achilles was a femboy, right? I know that's not the main point of the book but I got that impression.

Let's have an Iliad discussion thread.

Achilles wasn't a femboy in the Iliad but he was a femboy ten years prior when hiding in Skyros. Twinkage can't last forever, a time comes when you've gotta get swole and fight alongside your bruthers.
PS: Those that deny the mythological validity of Achilles' stay on Skyros just because Homer doesn't mention it are massive fags.

imagining characters in ancient classics as beautiful boys makes them so much better. I read the odyssey while imagining telemachus as a beautiful princely twink.

he’s a power bottom not a femboy!
paris sounds far far more femme but achilles is a mans man. I get that he was sulky after battle and overly attached to his brother (servant?) but with context and not projecting your own story on top it was a strong male friendship from years of growing up together battling together and sharing women

What did you guys think of this series? I've watched it recently and I thought it was pretty good, it got a lot of hate because of the ethnicity of the characters(achilles, zeus and aeneas are black) but otherwise I thought it was faithful to the original work.

He's right, though. Your brain is so poisoned that you can't help but project your sexual deviancy on characters written thousands of years ago. You're beyond help.

I used to believe this, but I've been reading Plato's dialogues recently, and Socrates can't talk to someone for 5 minutes without talking about how hot they are, or asking if their son is hot, or talking about male pregnancy.

it's still different than today since it wasn't fed to them subliminaly by subversed mass media preying on 17 centuries of Christian-Platonic denial of passions as the most basic parts of human nature. Rather curiosity/instinctive need of sexual fulfillment/praise of fertility

You are right,the greeks and the romans had extremely different views on homosex than we do,I think they saw it as masculine-dominant-proud vs feminine-submissive-shameful,romans for example could fuck any slave,it's just that it was shameful to get fucked by the slave
