Does the phrase "figure of speech" mean anything to you? For example, Achilles and Patroclus are never mentioned as having relations with each other, just with women. Achilles mourning Patroclus' death is strictly platonic: if this made him gay, by that logic, anyone who mourned their dog's death would be a zoophile. Meleager: another man who was strictly attracted to women, even killing his uncles over Atalanta.
