You can't have a bromance with an androgynous lump of clay.
Nelson and Hardy on the other hand.
>With two enemy ships pursuing him, Cockburn ordered more sail. During this operation, a topman fell overboard. The ship hove to and a boat with Hardy in it was lowered to search for the missing mariner. As the enemy ships were closing fast, Cockburn thought it prudent to withdraw, but Nelson overruled him crying "By God, I'll not lose Hardy, back that mizzen topsail!"

Sherman and Grant during the war, not as much after

Hamilton and Washington had an almost father son kind of relationship. Jefferson and Madison.

From an earlier thread, Charlie brown and Franz Stigled from ww2. Not necessarily a bromance but a remarkable event and resulting friendship.

>This closeness led the historian John Boswell to suggest that their relationship was a romantic one; though other historians have widely rejected this theory, it has led to popular veneration of Sergius and Bacchus in the gay Christian community.

Enkidu was the hero until he died you twerp, Gilgamesh was just there for his strength. Go read it, with special attention to how Enkidu leads the trip to slay, and the slaying of, Humbaba. Or his far more prominent role in the slaying of the Bull.
>>2729274
It's better than the Iliad/Odyssey, and shorter. It is also much more interesting structure- and plot-wise.

My favorite story was when the Hojo put an embargo on supplies going to Kai, chiefest of which was salt.

The Uesugi, the rivals of the Takeda, then sent salt to Kai and Kenshin Uesugi wrote that wars should be won on the battlefield and that he "doesn't fight with salt, but with sword."

>"The feud between them became legendary, and they faced each other on the battlefield five times in the Battles of Kawanakajima. These battles were generally confined to controlled skirmishes, neither daimyō willing to devote himself entirely to a single all-out attempt. The conflict between the two that had the fiercest fighting, and might have decided victory or defeat for one side or the other, was the fourth battle, during which the famous tale arose of Uesugi Kenshin's forces clearing a path through the Takeda troops and Kenshin engaging Shingen in single combat. The tale has Kenshin attacking Shingen with his sword while Shingen defends with his iron war fan or tessen."
