Agamemnon and Achilles' feud, responsible for the death of hundreds of Achaeans including Achilles & Patroclus, being because Achilles was too gay to rape a woman is actually a choice.
Freaky clay puppets. Very cool. The Paris-Helen roleplay was an interesting touch. I did think it applied modern standards of honour, sexuality etc. to a relationship with a very different connotation, and the purposeful portrayal of the older Patroclus as beardless is interesting but, overall enjoyable and absolutely worth the few minutes it takes to watch.

“I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.”
Also my hell what I wouldn’t give for a good feature length adaptation of Achilles and Patroclus’ tale.
