Interviewer: Are you very fond of Alexander? Gene Roddenberry: As a matter of fact, I am. I have Mary Renault's new Oxford book―in fact, I'd have everything in the bookstores a few years ago. Passionate admirer of Alexander. Passionate man. [...] Interviewer: There's a great deal of writing in the STAR TREK movement now which compares the relationship between Alexander and Hephaistion to the relationship between Kirk and Spock―focusing on the closeness of the friendship, the feeling that they would die for one another― Gene Roddenberry: Yes. There's certainly some of that with―certainly with love overtones. Deep love. The only difference being, the Greek ideal―we never suggested in the series―physical love between the two. But it's the―we certainly had the feeling the affection was sufficient for that, if that were the particular style in the 23rd Century. [He looks thoughtful] That's very interesting. I never thought of that before. [From Shatner: Where No Man (1979)]

Sooo I watched the new docuseries Alexander: The Making of a God and I was hit by indirect Kirk/Spock feelings because I remembered this interview. And of course I had to make a gifset about it. :)

why is everyone obsessed over romeo and juliet when the holy trinity of gay tragic lovers exits!? like alexander the great, achilles and apollo didn’t lose hephaestion, patroclus and hyacinthus for everyone to forget about them!! like they’re the same but one is a myth, the other is a book, and the one that was real

Alexander the great and hephaestion are so patrochilles coded it genuinely makes me sick to my stomach like how the fuck did they make the iliad in real life what the actual hell this is so fucked up

#THE WAY HEPHAESTION DIED A YEAR BEFORE ALEXANDER????? HELLO????????#honestly mad respect to alexander tho he saw the blorbo from his book and went ‘I am going to be him’#AND FUCKING DID IT!!!! HE IS ACHILLES IF HE WAS REAL!!!!!!!!#no one can reach the degree of ‘he’s just like me fr’ than alexander did with achilles #both their names start with A for fucks sake #and their stories have been straight washed and their partners forgotten #EVEN THEIR HORSES ARE FAMOUS!!!!!!!! THAT’S INSANE!!!!!!!#at war with a powerhouse enemy for an extended amount of time… (though he did conquer like A LOT so…)#both are young as hell and are destined for greatness #god…#it’s 12am I need to go to sleep #alexander the great #hephaestion #history #alexander x hephaestion #achilles #patroclus #the iliad #patrochilles

Well, that got through at least. :-)

And they took my advice to cast a dark-haired, Mediterranean-looking Hephaistion too.

For more, read Dancing with the Lion. I pulled no punches there about their relationship. And he has a properly Greek nickname (as does Alexander).

forget marriage; empty words and petty display, easily dissolved — instead, will you show action? will you mingle our blood, will you ride into battle with me? A two-person unit. Will you fight by my side in a hopeless fight? will you go mad when I lose my life and drag the corpse of the man who killed me around the city walls for days, swearing to unleash calamity upon the people responsible? Will you insist your ashes be mixed with mine, so we can be reunited in the afterlife? no? bye

Did it hurt? When they turned your favourite deeply flawed and terribly tragic couple into a pair of cutesy lovers? Or when they turned your favourite pathetic and imperfect tragic hero into a perfectly conventional sweetheart?
