One of the oldest gay ships in history. Yes, children of the fandom system... these are our roots... our heritage... And now a short poem for the great poet who started it all: Homer, perhaps we'd be in a different world to-day/ had you not made the Iliad so ridiculously gay/ Patroclus and Achilles are in love; I believe it to be true/ for those who deny it or say they're just friends, I know they believe it too
Fangirl Alpha: OMG have you seen the new fanart for Patrochilles?
Fangirl Beta: No?! Send me the link!
Fangirl Epsilon: I don't know how people can deny they are a thing. Achilles calls him 'my Patroclus' WAAAAAY too many times for that to only be subtext.
Fangirl Beta: I know right?!

The relationship between ancient Greek heroes Achilles and Patroclus, often interpreted romantically, from "The Iliad" by Homer. Popularized in Madeline Miller's 2011 novel, "The Song of Achilles."
Person 1: Do you ship Patrochilles?
Person 2: After reading TSOA, I can't help it!
