"He is half of my soul, as the poets say"

just finished the book had to make some lockscreens i miss them

if you'd like more tell me which is ur fav quote of the song of achilles and ill make one

[dxrknlight]

Imagine how horrible it must have been for Achilles after years of sleeping with Patroclus to suddenly stop. They had slept together since they were very young children, a lifetime together. How would he suddenly feel that silence? That heavy darkness, that coldness in the bed, that emptiness that nothing could fill? What if part of Achilles’ madness really came from lack of sleep? One of the latest chapters (cantos) of the Iliad begins with Achilles suffering from insomnia and how, unable to fall asleep because he remembers Patroclus, he sits down on the seashore and spends the night there. Probably remembering his first kiss. Then at dawn he returns to his tent and pretends to wake up in front of everyone.

Patroclus was their peace and rest, and without him there was no longer any point in resting in the face of war.

Imagine if Achilles & Patroclus hadn’t left Pyrrhus with Deimedia and Thetis. Imagine if instead Patroclus had adopted him & they had taken him to the war with them.

And then when they arrive to the war everyone is like: “Great the best Greek soldier is here!” And they look up and it’s this gigantic, intimidating guy cradling a baby in his arms.

And when Achilles goes to the war, Patroclus babysits the kid & Pyrrhus grows up with no idea that he’s not technically related to Patroclus. And everyone is really confused as to where the kid did come from, until Pyrrhus gets his hands on a sword and there’s no doubt it’s Achilles’ son. But even if he’s not Patroclus’ kid, Pyrrhus has his kindness.

Pyrrhus becomes the legion’s mascot and everyone just cheers up when they see him. He’s got a whole army of godfathers who are all desperately trying to win the war because they want this kid to grow up away from the war. He’s got uncle Ajax who likes to take him to the sea & teach him to swim, uncle Odysseus who teaches him about the world that’s out there and uncle Chiron who hasn’t met him yet, but would undoubtedly be delighted to meet him.

And Achilles doesn’t turn bitter anymore, because he’s got a son that he wants to be a great example too. So really, they saved Pyrrhus, but Pyrrhus also saved them because Patroclus never has to go to the war instead of Achilles and Achilles never has to grieve Patroclus.

And truly I just made this up because I can’t deal with the actual ending, so let me have this please

okay but when Madeline Miller said “I would know him in death, at the end of the world” and when she said “when he died, all thing soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with him” and when she said “i am made of memories” and when she said “i feel like i could eat the world raw” and when she said “he is half my soul, as the poets say” and when she said “this and this and this” and when-

"My pulse jumps, for no reason I can name. He has looked at me a thousand thousand times, but there is something different in this gaze, an intensity I do not know. " [The song of Achilles- Madeline Miller]
