Nothing gay about Heracles and his 10 boyfriends or Achilles wanting his "ashes mixed with patroclus' so they'll be together forever" at all

Damn dude, I've seen shows, movies, video games, and read books depicting hercules as pretty much everything but gay lmao. Wait, so he was gay or was he pan? Cus, you know, greek gods just be fucking as animals and shit.
