The headcanon you'll have to pry from my cold dead hands is overachiever Patroclus. He's the only character in the Iliad I can think of that's seen preforming tasks (and doing them WELL) in the three main social spheres of the poem (battlefield, public, intimate spheres).

Battlefield:

- Second highest body count after Achilles

- Repeatedly alluded to as Achilles’s fighting partner (when they were recruited, they were referred to in the dual) aka keeps up with AND complements the strongest Achaean fighter

- Killed a demigod (Sarpedon)

- Throws shade like the best of them

- Loved by and best at controlling Achilles's immortal horses

- Apollo had to physically push him down from the walls of Troy to stop him

Public:

- Mends wounds expertly & keeps the wounded company

- “Equal in counsel to the gods” and “gentle” as epithets

- Shadows Achilles in his meetings

- Trusted messenger

- Has an entire book where men of the Achaean camp risk their lives to retrieve his body

Intimate:

- Cooks well

- Manages Achilles's slaves

- Able to understand Achilles’s orders with just a look

- Listens to him sing & counsels him away from the rest of their comrades (also has lovely eyes and a lovely voice)

- Takes care of his guests

- Able to make Achilles bend with just his tears

Tl;dr: this man does EVERYTHING no wonder Achilles breaks down & stops functioning emotionally and socially the second he’s gone

#madeline miller rlly just went: how could i make him absolutely useless in the battlefield #it bugs me so bad like what do u mean #how could he have ever been achilles’ therapon without being able to do literally everything under the sun #achilles didn’t even train him either he just figured it all out himself #it takes a certain type of man to be patroclus #patroclus is just absolutely peak human where can i find myself a patroclus fr #<— this!!!!#patroclus of opus #achilles #the iliad #tagamemnon #greek mythology

Achilles (Pyrrha): *barges in upon hearing a girl screaming* Girl (Outside crying): Oh gods! He's gonna hurt Pyrrha so bad! Deidamia: Honey...there's something you should know about Pyrrha...well... Patroclus (in a hurry): Pyrrha works out! Girl: ... Patroclus: Pyrrha works out Deidamia: a lot Guy: *gets thrown out of the palace perimeters* Achilles: *small wave*
