It is a common error (see other thread) that Achilles and Patrocles were lovers. At least, it's not in the Iliad. Does anyone know how this error came into being? Is it mentioned in our sources? I can not remember having read it anywhere, but I haven't read everything of course. Anyone any thoughts?
