A book that is gay, sad, and has mythology sounds like a book written specifically for me. The Song Of Achilles is the retelling of Achilles and Patroclus and their life-long relationship. The writing is very detailed and emotional. The only complaint I have about is that the pacing was really weird and uneven.
