the Iliad cast!!

hered the designs for most of the main characters!! I will not be editing the list but if I do notice someone has a major role and they aren't on the list I'll probably give them their own little thing. All that's left now is to read, annoate, and draw the comic!! This is going to take a long time so you gonna have to be patient sorry!!!

Madeline Miller wasted a great opportunity by not writing how pissed off Menalaus and the greeks were after Patroclus's death. Instead, in TSOA, just Achilles is sad over his death (by what I remember). In the Iliad, it is mentioned that he was kind, a healer and good with a spear, so he would be popular in the army, right? I think that, by writing this whole commotion in the greek army, Patroclus's death in TSOA would have had more impact than it already has.
