It's time to take what you think you know about Homer's The Iliad and throw it out the window. What's the true nature of the relationship between the ancient Greek hero Achilles and his lifelong companion Patroclus? Madeline Miller, the New York Times bestselling author and writer of “Song of Achilles,“ breaks it down for us in this week's episode of Gay History with Tom Ranzweiler. It's part of a new series that explores the hidden sexuality of the world's biggest figures in history & pop culture. If you're queer your history is much longer than you think, full of LGBTQ characters who changed the world, and you deserve to be proud of it.
