The term Achillean describes romantic or sexual attraction between men and is often used in queer, literary, or historical contexts. It draws its name from the ancient Greek hero Achilles, whose close relationship with Patroclus in classical literature has been interpreted by many as romantic or homoerotic. The term is used as an alternative to "gay" or "homosexual" in contexts that emphasize cultural heritage, poetic expression, or inclusivity, and it is embraced by some as a way to connect modern queer identity with historical narratives.
