TRIPPY. was face to face in commute with a guy who looked like a mix of luke holt (zeus epic voice actor) and jeff goldblum (zeus kaos actor) carrying a... sack that doesn't match his formal clothes. weirder still: i could have SWORN he had a black buzzcut when we were lining up at the station. i only noticed it was him when he got off at his stop. 🤣🤣 good morning i guess; dudes with bad eyesight were definitely half-asleep describing biblical creatures and phenomena

Since you seem to be also into anime, you know what, I have seen a lot of mlm anime ships (especially from shonen animes) sharing parallels with patrochilles. And I wonder how do we always end up going back to patrochilles like this phenonmenon needs to be studied. And its also like, the light haired guy is always similar to achilles and the dark haired guy is always similar to patroclus (there are some exceptions but like its always the achilles equivalent is still naturally light haired and patroclus equivalent is naturally dark haired). Like it happened so many times.

Yeah I mean, the Iliad is one of the oldest works ever written so it makes sense that the characters in it have become character archetypes, i.e. a lot of other stories and characters have been based and continue to be based on them, including their relationships and dynamics etc. But also I think that many of the similarities you see in anime might depend on what aspect of Patrochilles we're talking about. Sun/moon pairings are very popular across different media, but I wouldn't say that the OG Patchilles are sun/moon, at least not in the way TSOA Patchilles might be. MM did apply her own spin on the story and their relationship/dynamic, which is all well good, and used a lot of tropes that are familiar are appealing but that don't necessarily apply to the canon material. Like first of all we don't know what Iliad Patroclus looks like, and secondly, even though he is described as the calm, gentle type who is the counterpart to Achilles' wrath, he goes completely off the rails at the end there lol. So we see that he can be just as ruthless and/or reckless as Achilles. (Which in itself is its own kind of trope tbh, two characters that seem different at first glance but are very much alike deep down)

Also the "best buddies/comrades who go on an epic quest together and one of them dies so the other is left to mourn them" trope wasn't exactly new at the time the Iliad was composed nor is it exclusive to patchilles; it's the major plotpoint of the Epic of Gilgamesh and it's a trope that was the result of a very long oral poetic tradition dealing with this subject. But of course there are a lot of other elements to the patrochilles dynamic and story that have inspired writers throughout history. So I would say that there are specific tropes that have tickled human brains for millenia for some reason, and that we collectively keep coming back to across cultures which is just very interesting!
