i keep thinking about how achilles refused to even look at food after patroclus dies and then told hector he wanted eat him raw the second he caught him
#the way his need for revenge is treated like his need for food#like it’s something base and instinctual and necessary#his grief literally won't let him eat because he is consumed by a need to kill hector#the only thing he consumes after patroclus dies is ambrosia almost like he's a god#but the only thing he expresses any desire to consume is a person as if he's some sort of animal#plus the increasing references to lions and other predators in similes#the point is patroclus's death like strips away his humanity#also i think about ‘carve u up and eat u’ line ummm six times a day#achilles#i just think he’s interesting#the iliad
