Agamemnon: *breathes*

Achilles: *hisses and snuggles closer to Patroclus*

Patroclus: your mother scares me. 😟

Achilles: I know but she can't see us in this cave 🤷

Patroclus: oh okay, cool ☺️

Achilles: no dude, she CAN'T SEE US right now 😏

WHEN I TELL YOU I CLOSED THE BOOK SO FAST. (just to open it again 3 seconds later but damn deep breath in and out.)

this scene changed me and I won't miss who I was before it.

eh words can't hurt me

"I am made of memories. The memories come, and come. We are all there, goddess and mortal and the boy who was both"

shattered, undying torment, perpetual misery, infinite grief, everlasting affliction, imperishable sorrow, permanent anguish, constant suffering, therapy I need therapy now

I am currently reading "The song of Achilles", and I wanted to give my thoughts on why Patroclus' and Achilles' relationship works so well.

For starters I think their relationship works so well because Patroclus was the first person in Achilles' life that saw him as a person, a friend.Everyone in Achilles' life saw him as only a prophecy, an asset of war, they saw him as something that will bring great fortune, but never as a child.Achilles was never able to truly live his childhood because of all this pressure.Patroclus was the first person he could relax around and just be himself.

Similarly, Achilles was also the first person to judge Patroclus on his personality not on how fast he can run or how handsome he is.Unlike everyone in Patroclus' childhood, Achilles never looked down on him, never saw him as less just because he couldn't do some things as well as the other boys.

These two have been each other's grounding stones, their shoulder to cry on, and with the kind of things they've been through, I think they deserve it.

So I knew what would happen before because I had read the Iliad and when Achilles says “What has Hector ever done to me?” I actually died. I knew what would happen and omg I think I cried more because I knew what would happen more than if it would have been a surprise. I picked the book knowing one would die and the other would die avenging him so that they could meet in the afterlife. In that part where Achilles calls Patroclus his husband god I was cheering in the background. That part where Briseis wished for Achilles to die instead of Patroclus made me break down. And ofc you cannot forget the part where Thetis makes things right with Patroclus. And the end, immaculate. I am telling you the longest sigh I had ever taken was that one when they both meet and everything is golden and they just meet this book is so precious they are so precious. And honorable mention, I hope Hades allows Achilles to go into Tartarus and lets him kick his son’s ass. I have so many other things about that book I want to mention but if I did I would just copy-paste the entire freaking novel.

"How do you want to be described?"

I pause and look up,

"the way Patroclus describes Achilles" I smile remembering the thoughts Patroclus had when he saw Achilles.

- a conversation between me and myself alone.

Well... I.... I....can't just....

How can Miller possibly compare two totally different things with each other, like how DEATH can be beautiful and how LOVE can be thrilling?

How are they similar? Is Death is love? Or love is death? Does love brings death? Or Death gives love?

But more importantly how these lines exist, how am I suppose to ever live in the world knowing that no one will ever love me like PATROCLUS LOVED ACHILLES, or ACHILLES BURNED THE WORLD FOR HIM!!!?

How do I act normal??????

(I completed reading this, but with so much of bittersweetness)

Isn’t it beautiful that we’ve been writing about Icarus for centuries? One boy who died faster than he lived. Who tasted more sun than fresh air. (He burned for more than he breathed). The tragedy of one boy who died by Apollo’s breath, not unlike Achilles. How could that boy have died on accident? He laughed as he fell right? Or maybe that is just a happier fantasy we tell. An improved idea over the bitter truth. A boy who died so quick must have laughed as he fell, or else he was just a boy. Just a boy who wanted to fly. Just a boy who could do nothing but fall. Why would this boy want to die? For freedom? To spite the gods? To spite his father? Because he was naïve? Maybe we like to believe he wanted to die. To save us from the pain of what it means if the sun was really just a hubris. Just as Apollo watched Achilles be struck in the heel, but could only watch, if just to keep omnipotence. Maybe Icarus did laugh was he fell. Maybe Icarus is just as mortal as we fear ourselves to be
