Hi! In regards to the anon noticing the tense changes in TSOA, I remember punkrockpatroclus (post/118485685203/so-like-i-met-madeline-miller) asked Madeline about this when she met her, and she said that this was because she meant it to be told after Patroclus' death, so he would switch to the present tense even when talking about the past because it was a particularly vivid memory for him ... so there's a pretty much canon explanation!
Hey, thank you so much, that’s such a neat explanation and I also like the idea of telling it from the underworld. You can find the full post here.
