The thing about the famous “I could recognise him by touch alone/I would know him blind" quote is that its a direct response to Patroclus' hearing about how Heracles, in a fit of madness, was not able to recognise his wife and killed her thinking she was an enemy. Basically, Patroclus is saying RIP to Heracles but I'm different.

I find it amazing that like a huge chunk of today’s youth makes and laughs at vague memes of events like a millennia ago which future historians will spend hours puzzling over

It’s time for an Iliad meme!

[Description: The “who would win?” meme. The left side says “The entire Trojan army led by Hector, all of their allies, the river.” The right side says “One angry gay out to avenge his boyfriend.”]

This is hilarious but also Madeline Miller's response was actually super interesting!
