Alexander and lifelong pal Hephaistion (Jared
Leto) make a lot of goo-goo eyes at each other and talk a lot about the
love of warriors Achilles and Patroclus. In "To Maecenas" Wheatley implies that she is such a
figure when she refers to her own mourning for the Homeric heroes in
line 17, where "The grateful tribute of my [Wheatley's] tears
is paid" to both Achilles and Patroclus (10). Encarnado, a duet for two men (House and Graham McKelvie the night I
saw it), takes inspiration specifically from The Iliad, according to the
program, presumably from the story of Achilles and Patroclus. |
