Guys I read songs of Achilles and the Lliad and I’m honestly devastated idk how I’m gonna recover 😭

[patrokronk]

The Trojan wars began for Helen yes but they ended because of Patroclus and I think that’s beyond beautiful

(Mask context: masquerade ball / cinderella au)

It has been doing numbers EVERYWHERE and I only found out from this lovely person who commented on Ao3:

So yeah I guess if anyone wants to read an 8 year old Song of Achilles fanfic written in a fever dream after watching Into The Woods, be my guest

“Showing Athena around the Greek Camp”

Recorded by Odysseus Laertides (1700 b.C.)

Sorry, but the whole “Hector is wearing Achilles’ own armor, taken from my corpse. It looks, almost, as if Achilles is chasing himself.” part just has me thinking… Who is Achilles truly hunting down on that battlefield? The man who killed Patroclus, or the man who let Patroclus walk into his demise? Who is Achilles trying to punish? Who is he truly trying to kill? Hector or himself?
