Mary Renault may have meant us to believe that Peter has good qualities but we are under no obligation to agree.
"But we are under no obligation to agree" is perhaps the healthiest attitude to take toward Renault in general.
In a comment above regshoe says that the comment about Renault's bisexuality is in tune with other comments Faderman made about bisexuality in Surpassing the Love of Men, so probably the side-eye is warranted.
