Does anyone know where I can find fiction featuring historically based characters involved in homosexual relationships? (for example, fan fiction based on Virgil's Nisus and Euryalus in the Aeneid)
thanks!!

No, that is a first actually. You should have a go at it. You might start a trend, you might be a fairly good writer.
Not be rude but your statement sort of invites homo phobics to trash you. I think it make some people defensive. Sorry, maybe one day people will respect each other.

Do a search with the words "fanzine gay" or "fanzine gay fiction." You should get something. Try google, I find a more diverse list of options then when I only do a yahoo search.
Or are you looking for novels that have historic based characters? There's a few writers who have written about the greeks and one writer, who I can't think of her name...Mary something, has written several excellent books about Alexander the Great and includes his male lover.
If I can find the name, I'll amend to include it.
Kuve has the name.

How about Alexander the Great? He preferred young men. He had a wife for political reasons. Years ago I read a book called "The Persian Boy" who was the young man who travelled with Alexander and was his lover. I doublt there is a more famous homosexual than he.
Also, Sappho has some very pretty poetry dedicated to her lady lovers

There's fanfiction for just about everything nowadays, but I couldn't tell you one for historically based characters. Try searching on Google or Yahoo! Usually I just look for television fanfic, but I wish I could help you more!!!
Happy searching!!!

Try the Torah!
Seriously, in the book of Ruth. Ruth and Naomi were said to have "cleaved" to one another.

Mary Renault's "Last of the Wine", "Mask of Apollo", and "The Persian Boy" are all very good.
