Greek Mythology book I’m reading right now:
*Speaking of any heterosexual relationship*: To him, she was the most beautiful women he had ever seen, perhaps even more beautiful than Helen of Troy, and he craved to have her hand in marriage at once. (Not a direct quote from book, but it’s pretty similar to the way the author describes each first impression in relationships the heroes and gods had.)
*Speaking of Apollo and Hyacinthus*: They were really great friends.
*Speaking of Patroclus and Achilles*: Patroclus was a dear friend of Achilles.
Does no one else see the problem with this?
