Achillean

Contributions by: Rust&Stardust

Definitions and Usage
Achillean is an umbrella label for binary men and masculine-aligned individuals attracted to other masculine-in-nature folk. It encompasses typical "homosexual male" attraction, masculine NBLNB attraction, mixed binary & nonbinary attraction, diamoric attraction, and many others. Achillean is also specifically not exclusively to this form of attraction; one can be pansexual and achillean, for example. Generally, is meant to specify "gay" attraction without replacing it.

The term itself comes from Achilles, a mythological figure in Ancient Greece. He is commonly implied to have been in a gay relationship with Patroclus, a fellow warrior, although this is disputed. This is similar to the inspiration behind the term sapphic.

Related Terms
As stated previously, sapphic and achillean are intertwined, but it is made into a group of three by diamoric (or sometimes enbian). Achillean can also function as an umbrella label for terms like toric, gender-loving-gender labels, bisexual (and other mspec terms), vincian, and many others.

Flags
The blue and white stripes represent men and nonbinary genders respectively, while the green carnation in the center has a more deep meaning. The flower is a symbol of homosexual men in Victorian times, popularized by Oscar Wilde pinning one to his lapel.
