Please tell me why the first thing i thought when i heard Achilles had a son was:
Oh so Patroclus and Achilles had a kid? Cool
And did not think anything of it for an HOUR before i went 'wait a minute.'

And yet I liked to think that I alone would perish here in Troy, far from Thessaly where the horses graze, and that you, Patroclus, would get home to Pythia and be able to fetch my son from Scyros in a fast black ship and show him everything
- Achilles, book 19 of the Iliad
SCREAMING ACHILLES THOUGHT PATROCLUS WOULD LIVE AND RAISE HIS SON 😭😭

As much as I enjoy adding nefarious deeds to Odysseus' criminal resume, Neoptolemus seems the most plausible man to kill Astyanax.
Odysseus' main trait isn't being cruel but cunning. It's out of character unless it served some kind of purpose that helped him go back to Ithaca.
But do you know who's been said to be unreasonably cruel? It's Neo.
And when you look at whom it benefits, again it's Neoptolemus. He made Andromache his concubine (they had kids), infanticide would be expected in these situations. Or maybe he wanted to make a dramatic gesture of ending Hector's bloodline.
With EPIC coming and that Netflix series, Odysseus killing Astyanax it's becoming canon and my brain gets itchy.
I'm demoting it to head canon.

The last of the light.
I have no preference over the two different murderers of Astyanax (Odysseus in Sack of Ilion, Neoptolemus in the Little Iliad), but going with the Sack of Ilion means a nice visual split can be made.

On a scale of godly genocide or a war-fueling tantrum, how well do you think Achilles took finding out his son kept him and Patroclus apart?

So I wanted to know how long it took for Thetis to write Patroclus’ name, and she mentions that Pyrrhus was dead and that was the reason for her visits to Achilles resting place…
On google it says Pyrrhus died when he was around 46; meaning that Patroclus’ spirit was left wandering/trapped between worlds for 34 years!!!
IT TOOK 34 YEARS FOR PATROCLUS AND ACHILLES TO BE REUNITED!!
Someone tell me rn that I am wrong because this is destroying me😐

achilles’ issues come from having too many fathers, neoptolemus’ issues come from having none. hope this clears things up.
