Description: "The story of the war at Troy was also a tale of love between men-of the devotion of Achilles, unrivaled hero, terrible warrior, and so it is said in legend, the most beautiful man in the world, to another great warrior, the handsome Patroclus ... In the Iliad Homer also tantalizingly hints at another love story, the love of Antilochus, son of King Nestor and Prince of Pylos, for Achilles." -- back cover.
Notes: "The story of Troy was also a tale of love between men -- of the devotion of Achilles for Patroclus." -- T.p.
