Are there any books that chronicle the relationship between Alexander the Great and Hephaestion?
Oliver Stone
Mary Renault
- Fire from Heaven
-The Persian Boy

He was Persian?
As I remember, Fire from Heaven ends with Philip's assassination. The Persian Boy is Bagoas, a eunuch who becomes Alexander's lover. It covers the period to Alexander's death, including his relationship to Hephaestion and his reaction to the latter's death.

In all honesty without political or personal influences and being as objective as possible were Alexander the Great and Hephaestion in a romantic relationship or not? I honestly don't know what to believe, most of what I read claims they were gay with each other or almost gay in the terms we have today.

Probably not.
There's little evidence pointing towards it.
It's just a meme spread by gays so they can have some muh heritage shit

Go back to /pol/. There is ancient art depicting them as lovers. This is the same autism that claims Alan Turing is heterosexual.
>He's a great man
>He's gay/bi-scum
Some people can't reconcile the two.

Anon mentions political influences and not to bring them up and yet you do.

This is what causes problems in reviewing history.
Heterosexuals trying to claim everyone who was great was straight, is not only a lie, it's subjective.
I like pussy and boobs. But there is a group of people who feel like they cannot admire anyone who is gay.
My uncle is gay, and he's awesome. This is just bullshit. Obviously Alexander the Great was gay or bisexual.
