dragon heaven I’m going to assume this is commented out of simple ignorance and not malice. A. Petroculus and Achilles probably didn’t exist, but this is only because they were mythical characters that reflected the culture of their time. Their stories weren’t made up later, if that’s what you’re asking about. B. Achilles wasn’t _supposed_ to marry anyone, but even if he was, it wouldn’t have been Medea.

Emperor Gaozong of Song originally had a wife of the Xing clan, and when he was called by the Imperial court to negotiate with the Jurchen Jin, she took off her earrings, put them in a box and gave it to him. After becoming Emperor after escaping the horrific Jinkang incident, wherein his wife was captured and sent north along with the entire Imperial court, he took the box with him, and when fleeing Yangzhou to retreat from Jin forces, it was the only thing he took with him. That was how much he missed and loved her. *Edit. He later remarried to a woman who has the same surname as my mother (Wu) and probably was emotionally stronger than him. Although physically and mentally strong, he became so stressed by his country's situation he became infertile, and was permanently paranoid, scared and stressed. His wife, on the other hand, when pursued by rogue soldiers trying to steal the Imperial boat, took a bow, and shot three arrows into the crowd of rogues. They were spooked and pledged allegiance to the Imperial couple again. XD

We also live in an age that wants to turn every male/ female only friendship into a gay/ lesbian partnership. It is possible that Achilles and Patroclus were gay, it is also possible they were not. In truth, homosexual relationships in Greece were not the same as they are today. It was something that the young were allowed to engage in, but the older you got the less acceptable it was. The Iliad does not give an age to Achilles or Patroclus, and that does make a difference. We rarely view history through context. We mostly view it culturally--are these people, who lived thousands of years before me, acting in a manner I approve or disapprove of. It is sad, because to often we look down on those people and make judgements over them, not realizing that some of the issues they dealt with, we are dealing with today and in much the same manner. People hate slavery today (because it is wrong to own people) and don't realize/ don't care about the harsh conditions in southeastern Asia, that mimics a lot of the conditions the American slaves went through. We only care that we can buy a cheap shirt at Walmart.

for everyone looking to read The Song of Achilles- you should! it's a very touching and bittersweet retelling of Patroclus and Achilles' lives (from Patroclus's point of view), but a very heart-wrenching one. The way Patroclus describes his life with Achilles, and love for Achilles, will make you desperately yearn for a relationship yourself. I guarantee that there will be several moments throughout the book where you'd want to cry, laugh and rage. (especially at the end and every scene where Thetis is present.)

I get the joke but, in fact, "their" official motto was kinda nice and quite progressive for the time. Because some people felt like a king was better than a queen in Aragon, Ferdinand made the fact that their marriage was one of equals blatant by choosing as his personal motto a reference to Isabella: "As much as one of us is worth, so is the other". That lead popular tradition to render, as the couple's motto a rhyme that goes something like: "One is both, both are one, Isabella and Ferdinand"

Troy is an insult to the Iliad. Like, really? Making Paris, the selfish brat who kidnaps a woman, the good guy!?

@@Mobysimo Yeah even the Trojans hate the guy for being a complete brat. Who knows why the filmmakers looked at that guy and thought "Yes! The sympathetic protagonist we all need."

Briseis and Achilles were canonically lovers in the Iliad though. They referred to each other as husband and wife, and Achilles equated his love for Briseis to Menelaus love for Helen.

Actually, Achilles and Patroclus were related in the mythology. Both great-grandsons of the nymph Aegina. Not unusual for the setting.

Wow, I guessed nearly every single couple on this list except the first one. Heck I didn't even know the first one actually happened. Though that's probably the point that Blue was trying to make.

If you have seen most of the videos on this channel, you would know that those two had a romantic relationship.
