When people hate on tsoa for romanticizing Achilles when that’s literally that point. The book is from Patroclus’ POV of course it’s going to make Achilles look like a good person. Patroclus is taking about half of his soul. The novel is about how Patroclus romanticizes Achilles even though he was literally built for war. Patroclus is so blinded by his love that he ignore all that Achilles is or has done wrong. This doesn’t mean that everything Patroclus thinks, is true. Achilles did terrible things but the book isn’t about changing Achilles, it’s about showing how powerful Patroclus and Achilles love was and how it changed their view of each other.

Yes, this book may be historically incorrect in Patroclus and Achilles characters but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad book. It an INTERPRETATION of a Greek MYTH.

It isn’t written to be accurate it’s written to make you feel the love, grief, joy, and admiration that Patroclus had for Achilles.

#not to mention #(again)#ITS A RETELLING #madeline can do whatever she wants with the story yet she decided to keep it very close to what would be “canon”#just gave it a twist #you know #like RETELLINGS are supposed to #if you want to read the illiad just... read the illiad? lmao

Will anything ever make you feel as deeply devastated as when Achilles found out that Patroclus was dead? He immediately went to kill himself, and the only thing that stopped him was the fact that he gave his sword to Patroclus. When Odysseus tries to get him off of Patroclus's dead body, Achilles almost murders him but doesn't because that would mean letting go of Patroclus, and he can't do that. Patroclus can feel Achilles's heartbeat against his cold chest with the remaining last bits of his spirit left behind. Or, you normal?

#thanks for that one btw
