I just finished Song of Achilles I'm sobbing and screaming. It's not fair. Achilles treated patroclus horribly towards the end and Patroclus still went and died, did everything for Achilles. And Achilles loved him so much but was so lost that he didn't get to tell him. He was so desperate for Patroclus and didn't accept he was dead. And he wanted to die because he didn't have him. Achilles never got the chance to express how much he loved Patroclus. And they were separated, even in death until Thetis, who was the most unlikely to help Patroclus was the one to help him move on to the underworld so he could see Achilles in death. This book is too much, I won't ever be the same again 💔💔😭😭😭😭
They were together since children the same as Alexander the Great and Hephaistion you decadent barbarians. They went thru everything together, they were philophers and real men bound by the institution of friendship which was sacred in Ancient Greece. No disgusting lie can ruin their image. Keep believing lies so you feel good about your abnormality
I think something's wrong with me I read TSOA for the first time...at midnight while I was sick no less...and I didn't cry. I think I skipped depression, anger, bargaining and acceptance and I'm stuck in denial. BUT you know what? I'm gonna write wonderful scenarios in my mind. And then stare at a wall and control my breathing. This is fine. SOLANGELO SAVE ME--
I literally just finished it as I'm typing this. Im sobbing. The end where thetis carves Patroclus's name into Achilles tomb because she had nothing left of Achilles anyways literally broke me. At least my boys are together and at peace for eternity 😭😭
I just borrowed song of Achilles I'm definitely gonna cry update :I finished my other book and I'm halfway through song of Achilles and I'm crying cuz I know what's gonna happen cuz I've read the Iliad too many times in the 13 years of my existence
I understand, I don't know where you come from, but in my country the Iliad and the Odyssey are studied both in middle school and in high school, moreover, being a fan of Greek mythology, I know both poems very well (I know the proem of the iliad by heart).
I just finished it. I can barely see the keyboard as I'm typing this bc I'm sobbing and crying. This book changed something in me man. Like I wish I had read this book sooner. It's masterpiece and I'll never recover 😭😂
@@Mistry.holly143 good question. I don't know of any books that are super similar to SOA, but if you like the writing style Madelyn Miller has two more Greek mythology books "Circe" and "Galletea" (the second one is a short story). If you want books that will leave a lasting impression on you and (probably) make you cry then I recommend "The book thief" and "the perks of being a wall flower" the first one had me shaking crying at the end and the second one had me tearing up. Although if you want to dive more into the story of the Trojan war and the rage of Achilles I'll always recommend the OG the Illiad by homer. (Aka where SOA is based off of). Trust me it is super interesting. hope this helps
@@presleighe8126 omg thank you so much for writing in such detail. I will definitely check out those recommendations. I was scared to read the Iliad or one of the books as I thought it perceived Achilles as a bad man or smth (don’t know where I read that from) and I didn’t want it to change the experience of the song of Achilles for me but if that’s not true I won’t hesitate to read it. Don’t know if what I just wrote makes complete sense as it’s currently 1:33am. Also is Achilles and Patroclus still perceived as lovers on these other telling of Troy war, I know these other books aren’t based on them -it’s on women. Sorry for the long response! Thank you for replying!!
Ya know.. I wanna just make believe and say they died happy on Mount Pelion. Because if I don’t finish it, it didn’t happen.. But I know it does, and it’s going to hurt like a bitch when I see it happen.
Let me make you cry a bit more (SPOILER WARNING DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE BOOK!) Patroclus last thought before he died was "Achilles". The last thing Achilles mother told him was "I'm glad that he is dead."(talking about Patroclus) Practically Thetis "sold" Achilles body to that girl(Wich excuse the fact I don't remember her name TwT) At the end he was happy,like yeah he and Patroclus have been put through so much pain, mentally and physically,but at the end at last they will be together in the underworld.
I loved the book at the starting...but wtf was happening in that island chapter..they just sleep with the other and u call that true love like wtf that confused me so much and couldnt continue after..and wt patroclus does in the name of comforting is basically cheating 💀👀
“Song of Achilles” is a gay fantasy fiction book written 10 years ago by an American feminist. In the ancient text of the Iliad Achilles and Patroclus are straight and masculine.
whats the point of madeline miller rewriting the iliad. shes an author she cant just copy other stories, she made the iliad with her own twists thats why its a different book

I know when I finished it I swear I was broken for a little while I couldn't do anything 😭 I would sell my soul to read it again
IT TRAUMATIZED ME TOO, THEY WERE SO IN LOVE 😭😭
I have no emotion
The song didn't even start and i start crying
I cried for three hours after finishing the book and my friend laughed at me and told me it was "just a book"
I was crying in my room and my mom came in bc I was too loud
I’m too scared to finish the last 2 chapters 😭

Achilles was happy because of Patroclus. I am happy because of my friends. We are one in the same
In some other book or thing it says they get reunited in the underworld so 😭✨👍

Yall dw, in the Odyssey they get reunited in the underworld
Let me make you cry a bit more (SPOILER WARNING DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE BOOK!)
Patroclus last thought before he died was "Achilles".
The last thing Achilles mother told him was "I'm glad that he is dead."(talking about Patroclus)
Practically Thetis "sold" Achilles body to that girl(Wich excuse the fact I don't remember her name TwT)
At the end he was happy,like yeah he and Patroclus have been put through so much pain, mentally and physically,but at the end at last they will be together in the underworld.

This book.....
Most of them were happy. Just not at the end of their life.
Why must you do this to me
Is this a show or a book? If it’s a show, where can I watch it? If it’s a book who is it by?
I've read this book and it's one of the beautiful ones. You should totally get it and join out fandom 😂❤
