The majority of liberal academia claim the Greeks were very accepting and approved of homosexuality. Meanwhile a smaller group seems to be fighting against the notion that homosexuality was so overtly practiced and accepted.
One front of this divide seems to be the character of Patroclus in 'The Illiad' A minor character outside of his relationship with Achilles. But at some point more modern scholars have begun to portray them as lovers. I remember mainstream YouTube reviewers criticizing "Troy" for making them cousins as opposed to lovers. There's nothing in his original myths or the Illiad poem that states he's gay. He was raised with Achilles in Achilles' dad's court. There is reference to them being closer than brothers but that doesn't necessarily mean gay.
Do you see Patroclus and by extension Achilles as gay?
I've read a lot of Greek literature.
Not at all.
The whole Greeks are gay, imo, stems from English readers misinterpreting brotherly love and womanly love. Greeks did view the love between brother-at-arms (friends who were like brothers) to be stronger than the love between a man-and-woman. Aristotle even says in his work that a woman cannot love a man as strongly as a man loves a man because a woman never sacrifices for the other and always views the relationship as a transaction with the desired outcome to be such that the relationship benefits her more than the man.
The Greeks were simply right but somewhere down the line the idea of men loving men like brothers (friends) got forgotten and love started to only be attributed to the opposite sex or literal family. Arguably, this was done on purpose from a top-down perspective to weaken male bonds and chain all men to women because the men become easier to control by rulers. The women would have latched onto the same because men with weak bonds to other men are easier for her to control also. One of the areas we still see brotherly love come to fruition in modernity is war. The Greeks were a waring people so they'd have experienced this, especially those in the outskirt towns who weren't from the artsy Athenians. It's no surprise that one of the most notorious modern examples of brotherly love came from Lord of the Rings where the author serves in WWI yet many said Sam and Frodo were gay when they clearly weren't, at all.
Were there Greek philosophers fucking boys? Probably, of course. Every society gets its fair share of gays. To say Greeks as a whole were significantly gay or tolerated gays is false. Most accounts I can recall from primary sources describing gay tendencies were never positive.
The problem is that English has only one word for love and tards keep interpreting it as eros.
