J'ai terminé "Le chant d'Achille" de Madeline Miller, et c'était si doux.
La lecture coule comme du miel, la douceur de Patrocle pour Achille, la puissance dont on peut être capable par amour.
Je suis dans cet instant qui suit une lecture, remplie d'images et de mots et vide aussi car les personnages et les lieux me manquent déjà un peu.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

How do Achille and Patroclo define their relatioship in The song of Achilles?
It's a greek word i can't remember. It means basically lover, intimate person.
If i remember right it's when they are in Sciro and they talk to Ulisse

My ancient greek teacher was an anxious but strong woman, we were scared of her but she was so full of knowledge that when she used to explain to us, even the smallest things, we would hang on her every words.
One day, in the third year, we were studying the preface of the Illiad (of which I still remember a part by memory to this day, in greek) and she just stood up and said calmly "Achilles wasn't enraged for the spoils of war..." she got angry and shouted "HE WAS ENRAGED BECAUSE THEY KILLED HIS BELOVED."
The class was speechless, a woman so put together almost tearing up for something so ancient and that she so often had talked about.
This is the power of the classics, their magic.

This is from For Love and Honour, a Modern Oblivion AU fic I'm writing for TESFest.
NB: Lena Drakosdottir is Caroline's girlfriend.
"How come I don't get a sword?" Aderyn said as the group moved away from the entrance marquee, and into the festival.
"Do you know how to use a sword, cariad?" Caroline replied.
"I know how to use a staff. Can't be that hard?"
Caroline chuckled, as Achille snorted.
"At least Ms Drakosdottir got me an épée – something I know how to use – instead of that barbarous meat cleaver," he said, then plucked at the puffy split sleeves on his doublet. "Though I am still not sure about this froufrou."
"My apologies, Monsieur Legrand," said Lena, the gold knotwork on the hem of her dress skating through the grass. "I had assumed you would prefer the courtly style of your countrymen."
"It is at least lighter than these two walking tanks," Achille said, grinning as he gestured to Caroline and Baurus.
"I think I look rather dashing." Caroline grinned.
Lena said something in Old Norse, and Caroline grinned wider.

I finished reading "The Song of Achilles" ("Le chant d'Achille pour les francophones) and I haven't stopped crying since. I can't get over it. this book is a masterpiece, which enters the long list of my obsessions.
my life has no meaning since I finished it, Achilles and Patroclus I-
I currently have two options for this night, either I watch Heartstopper again for the 4th time to comfort myself, or I stay all night on Tumblr, on the tags of this masterpiece to reveal in my emotions and cry all night looking in fanarts
or I reread the happy passages to comfort myself (I wish I could forget this book to discover it again for the first time)
in short, my heart now belong to Achilles and Patroclus
