Gays from the past: Besiege City of Troy, challenge in duel the one who killed his lover but get killed by an arrow.

(yes it's the Iliad)

But got wives because they must have sons to make war against others cities and against persian empire.

Gay now: Has rainbow hairs, muscled like a shrimp, and make tutorials about make-up, and whiming for all and nothing who "hurt feeling".

Stereotype then: Spartans spend time on fighting, not on philosophy. Buncha dumb jocks.

Stereotype now: Gays are all weak.

Usefulness of either? Pretty paltry.

…actually, that Spartan stereotype was pretty much true as best we know, at least when it comes to the Spartiates (the small ruling class who were actual Spartan citizens).

There are plenty of gay guys who go to the gym or practice martial arts. Also, that idiot has clearly never heard of the Stonewall riots. Us LGBTQ folks are plenty capable of raising Hell when we need to.

I’m not sure we should be emulating Agamemnon’s retinue in any fashion. This trope, at least, seems to describe the tendencies of Classical Greece’s favored myths rather well: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhatMeasureIsANonBadass

(e.g. Paris’s status as an archer-soldier, rather than a melee warrior, being scorned in and of itself)

Trust me. No one will like a whole world of that. Not even the most “glorious”.

- Spend most of the story sulking and refusing to fight because of bickering over a princess turned sex slave (while having a loving and supposedly beloved wife at home), then sacrifice her anyways
- Invulnerable, still requires a blinged-out armour made by Hesphaitos himself.

You know, that is an interesting contrast with David versus Goliath, where the lean young man defeating the decked-out supersoldier with a well-placed shot is considered the ultimate badass.

...all the while your feelings are hurt: whining as you sizzle like shrimp tempura.

Actually, the invulnerability seems to have been an innovation of Statius—of the 1st century CE. (q.v. the unfinished Achilleid)

Yes, weak like shrimps. Like the peacock mantis shrimp, known for having the strongest punch in the animal kingdom for it's size.

Look them up, they have one of, if not the most, anime sort of attacks on Earth.
