ooh Lycaon begging Achilles to not kill him and Achilles denying his request, saying now that Patroclus is dead he won't spare anyone. Honestly, I get it now, I get why the opening line of this epic is about Achilles rage, I get now, why homer says "𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘖 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘦, 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 Wrath 𝘰𝘧 𝘈𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘴" I get why he says his Rage brought so much suffering!

Not that I didn't before, but before reading this part it was just a fact. But while reading this part it hit me how he's gone so far in his grief. Wrath of God like Achilles indeed.
