Pfft, you and everyone else. Get in line.

But not the battle addicts of her times. They'd rather see a bunch of sweaty men, fighting "FOR GLORY!", demonstrating their power. I guess nowadays you'd replace it with a car or some other status symbol? And that's literally what they sung about, look at the Illiad. She was probably one of the first poets to say "screw all this shit, the I want to see my beloved's face, the way she walks, she captured me like she was some goddess in an epic story."

So her claim to fame is that she is more gay than the rest of ancient Greece?

IDK man, let’s see the poems men wrote about those soldiers and their glistening biceps before making a call here, shall we?

This too. She was so gay her whole island became synonymous with women being gay. (She was from Lesbos.)

Perhaps Achilles loved Patroclus a bit too much... waitaminute...
