With descriptions of them reading letters together

Fellas, is it gay to read correspondence with another bro?

Jokes aside, I think we should be careful applying the sexual and cultural standards of modern western culture across borders and time. For example, it's still very common in the middle east for men who are friends to hold hands while walking down the street. To us that's a sign of homosexuality, to them it's just bros being bros.

That all being said, taking a stance that any ancient Greek figure was straight as we know it is hilarious.
