This book made me sob not because of the obvious death, but because his mom who hated the relationship was the one to reunite them in the afterlife. She understood then how much they loved each other.
SPOILER ALERT The ending dialogue between Patroclus and Thetis was so powerful and satisfactory. It was worth all Patroclus had to endure, In that moment nothing else mattered, he was fearless. I didn´t know if cried or cheered lol
"name one hero who was happy" i considered.heracls went mad and killed his family. theseus lost his bride and father. jason's children and new wife were murdered by his old. bellerophon killed the chimera, but was crippled by the fall from pegasus's back. "you can't." he was sitting up now, leaning forward. "i can't." "i know. they never let you be famous and happy." he lifted an eyebrow. "let me tell you a secret." "tell me." i loved when he was like this "i am going to be the first." he took my palm and held it to his. "swear it." "why me?" "because you are the reason. swear it." "i swear it", i said, lost in the high colours of his cheeks, the flame in his eyes. "i swear it", he echoed. we sat like that for a moment, hands touching. he grinned. "i feel like i could eat the world raw."
"I could recognize him by touch alone, By smell, By the way his breaths came And his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death At the end of the world." They truly are what no one can imagine, their faults have been erased as quickly as the sea took their footprints. They wouldn't forget what happened but rather be able to look back, a smile on their face, cheeks red with the cold wind, hand in hand with memories to be made and cuddles to be lived, and know the past made them care for each other in the way only hurt and death and grief could bring two souls together despitethe Fate's disapproval. Their Love blinded all, hid the worst parts of the world, shined brighter than the sun, more mesmerizing than the midnight light and more mysterious than the sparkles that would shine in the darkness. They defined Love in a way no one would understand because they were honest and true, they spoke their fears and helped eachother, let their soulmate in their heart and forever and ever, trusted the intentions of the one their heart called. They will live, because nothing was strong enough to break their trust, Love, memories.
In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.
Achilles was a great fire, a warrior. Patroclus was that soft rain that cooled the earth. They were the perfect match. Even though they both knew it would cost Achilles his life, he chose fame. After all, what had Hector ever done to him? “What had Hector ever done to me” But what they didn’t know was that Achilles’ fame wouldn’t be from being a great warrior, but from the rage that came when his beloved rain, was killed. Now hector had done something to him. “He was half of my soul, as the poets say” When Patroclus died, Achilles raged, not just killing hector, but dragging his body around Troy, he didn’t care that he would die because Hector was dead, he just wanted to avenge his lover. “Name one hero who was happy” Yet historians just refuse the fact that Homer made these two lovers, not cousins, not brothers, not good friends. Someone wouldn’t go that mad over a death of their cousin, or best friend. They were in love, a love that not even the gods could touch. “We were like gods at the dawning of the earth, our joy was so bright we could see nothing but the other.” They had a love that was more than love. Their bodies longed for each other every single second. They couldn't breathe without one another. A prince wouldn’t have his ashes mixed with his second. Would he? But Achilles did. And yet we still think they were anything but lovers.
"Best of men. Best of the Myrmidons", she places her fingers to my lips, stopping my objection. "It is truth," she says. "Let it stand, for once." And he really was 😭😭😭

I discovered the book thanks to this Playlist. Now I'm coming back here.. I just finished the book and I'm just speechless.It's been a long time since a book hit me like that. I don't regret anything.I was emotionally attached to them and their story. I laughed, i smiled, i felt angry, i cried, for them... I'm so heartbroken now. Their relationship is something so pure and intense... Together as a one soul. If only it was not their destiny.
i read this book last may on a camping road trip in all these different beautiful forests and it made the experience even more magical. i'll never forget this book.
this book left me so many different feellings, i am heart-broken over their love story but also very angry at the fact that things could get better at the beginning and everything dont need to end this way. But in the end when Thetis finally understood their story and reunite them together, it's really warm my heart and literally lift me up from all the sorrow in my heart.
i know very well this is for the book (especially since its on my bookshelf right now) but my name is Achilles and I FULLY intend on pretending this was made for me
"Now." Lycomedes came forward, and I saw his face for the first time. His skin was yellowed, and his graying beard like dirty fleece; yet his eyes were sharp enough. "Who is this man, Pyrrha?" "No one!" Deidameia had seized Achilles' arm, was tugging at it. At the same time, Achilles answered coolly, "My husband." I closed my mouth quickly, as to not gape like a fish. "He is not! That's not true!" Deidameia's voice rose high, startling the birds roosting in the rafters. A few feathers wafted down to the floor. She might have said more, but she was crying too hard to speak clearly. Lycomedes turned to me as if for refuge, man to man. "Sir, is this true?" Achilles was squeezing my fingers. "Yes," I said. This was the first time I've giggle laughed ever, it was absolutely magnificent and made my heart soar. So amazing, except for Deidameia I suppose. First 'romance' story I've ever read, and I'll say I chose well.
I sobbed for about an hour after I read TSOA but since then I have delayed my full breakdown until I find a more convenient time to be depressed for at least 72 hours, this playlist is for then. (I bookmarked the start of the beginning of the true sadness and will read from there to allow myself the full heartbreak experience)
literally clicked on the music header to see if i could find any greek mythology playlists because i just started rereading song of achilles and this was literally the FIRST video
"I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell ; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world." Oh how I would give up anything to read this book again for the first time.
Had this on in the background as I read. Took me about half a month to finish it. But I just finished it just now, and I have been emotionally shattered. I will never recover from this.
Thank you so much for posting this!! "Two Men in Love" is my absolutely favorite song, I can feel the passion and imagine Achilles and Patroclus fighting for their love. This song is on replay for me!
reading that book was the best and worst choice of my life. yes it's wonderfully written, has a great plot and shit but it traumatized me deeply lol. its the definition of emotional damage 🤪 and the comment section makes me getting war flashbacks 🧍🏻♂️
I remember the first time when I finished it I started to cry so badly at 2 am in the morning that my eyes hurt. I loved this book so much and will definitely read it again to experience the love, hate and pain another time. And this playlist will be playing in the background. Thank you for this masterpiece.
This book ruined me. So beautifully did the writer formulate the words. I read the book this morning and I'm still crying. There will never be another book like this. The relationship between Achilles and Patroclus is beautiful and special. And the last part of the book... "He is half of my soul, as the poets say" 'Go', she says. "He waits for you. "
It's been a long time since I've read TSOA and it still remains my favorite book to this day😭 It's so powerful, well written, sad and romantic. Everyone should read this book at least once.
To think that Achilles has been wondering around afterlife alone thinking where his love is. Why they haven't reunited? Does Patroclus really leave him alone behind just like he died first in life? Hurt my heart so much. When they reach for each other's hands is when I can close my eyes in relieve. I had to close my book and let everything sink in my heart before read it all again. Btw why Pyrrhus are so brutal like bro chill
Day 2 after finising the book and I'm not fucking okay 😭. I don't regret reading it; in fact, I'm so glad to have read such a masterpiece, but it hurtss. I can't even imagine what will happen to them in the afterlife which should somehow relieve the pain I'm feeling, all my head do is just imagining all the what ifs while dwelling on their memories, questioning what really happened in the Iliad like what if Eris got invites to Thetis and Peleus' wedding and didn't throw that fucking golden apple, what if Aphrodite didn't promise the most beautiful girl to Paris, what if Paris didn't take Helen from Menelaus Oh my goodness, my heart is breaking...
I'm halfway through the book but I'm hesitant to continue. Because yesterday while I was searching for songs abt TSOA, I accidentally spoiled myself and now I know what's gonna happen!! I'm not happy abt it. In fact, I couldn't sleep that night and I just cried myself to sleep in the end 😭 but still, I've continued a bit and I'm sure soon enough I'll be finish with the book. Despite the unfortunate events of me having spoiled myself of the story, I still feel the joy reading their love and life, as well as the terrible foreboding feeling that I've started feeling since I know what is to come for them 🙂 (btw, is this comment a spoiler? Idk. Sorry if it is)
I could hug youuu right now!!! This is so beautifulll. This is my favorite book and this playlist, oh goshhh thank you so muchh for thiss. I hope you live a really peaceful lifee
I am going to create an animatic for this book and this playlist will be my main inspiration other than the book. Looking forward to telling how it goes by the end of the month 🖤 Wish me luck P.S.: Love your channel to death
I just finished reading the book and I am crying so hard and I thought the mother would never ever like Patroclus but in the end she brought them back together even though before she hated him 😢
"DUAS SOMBRAS se aproximam em meio à treva densa e eterna. Suas mãos se encontram e a luz jorra num dilúvio como se fossem centenas de urnas entornadas do céu." "TWO SHADOWS approach amidst the dense and eternal darkness. Their hands meet and the light gushes out in a deluge as if they were hundreds of urns spilled from the sky."
Honestly the only song that reminds me of them is "Born to die"by Lana del Rey. It somehow seems this song was made for them : "Sometimes love is not enough" Their love was not enough for Achilles to let go of his pride and stop this war. "Choose your last words, this is the last time" "You and I, we were born to die". Do I really have to explain this one? From the start, they were meant to die, we always knew an happy ending was not even a possibility (still hurt like crazy though).

I finished reading this book about a week ago,cried like a baby for whole night, the truth is the more Patroclus adored Achilles the more I adored him

i considered.heracls went mad and killed his family. theseus lost his bride and father. jason's children and new wife were murdered by his old. bellerophon killed the chimera, but was crippled by the fall from pegasus's back.
"you can't." he was sitting up now, leaning forward.
"i can't."
"i know. they never let you be famous and happy." he lifted an eyebrow. "let me tell you a secret."
"tell me." i loved when he was like this
"i am going to be the first." he took my palm and held it to his. "swear it."
"why me?"
"because you are the reason. swear it."
"i swear it", i said, lost in the high colours of his cheeks, the flame in his eyes.

its sad, he believed that he could eat the world raw at his highest point, but at his lowest.. he told hector that he would kill him and eat him raw
In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.

i read this book last may on a camping road trip in all these different beautiful forests and it made the experience even more magical. i'll never forget this book.
I can’t listen to this while I’m doing homework, I couldn’t allow me to do such insignificant thing while listening to the music of your heart.
Literally same.
this book left me so many different feellings, i am heart-broken over their love story but also very angry at the fact that things could get better at the beginning and everything dont need to end this way. But in the end when Thetis finally understood their story and reunite them together, it's really warm my heart and literally lift me up from all the sorrow in my heart.
I'm not even half way through the book yet all the foreshadowing is already killing me😭
Finally gained enough emotional strength to come back to this
It's so beautiful but the book along with this playlist tore my heart and mind to pieces
I reread it with the information that the book was Patroclus telling Thetis his memories, it was banger
"Name one Hero who was happy"

I'm 16 and an avid reader and this is honestly the most beautiful novel I have read in my life. Not trying to be dramatic, but it kind of changes you.

At the same time, Achilles answered coolly, "My husband."
I closed my mouth quickly, as to not gape like a fish.
"He is not! That's not true!" Deidameia's voice rose high, startling the birds roosting in the rafters. A few feathers wafted down to the floor. She might have said more, but she was crying too hard to speak clearly.
Lycomedes turned to me as if for refuge, man to man. "Sir, is this true?"
Achilles was squeezing my fingers.
"Yes," I said.
This was the first time I've giggle laughed ever, it was absolutely magnificent and made my heart soar. So amazing, except for Deidameia I suppose.
First 'romance' story I've ever read, and I'll say I chose well.

"He is half of my soul, as the poets say"
'Go', she says. "He waits for you. "
I didn't read the book but just by seeing those comments I'm tearing up I-
This and this and this...
~~Achilleus
It's been a long time since I've read TSOA and it still remains my favorite book to this day😭 It's so powerful, well written, sad and romantic. Everyone should read this book at least once.
the one dislike is pyrrhus
I’m gonna start the book, wish me luck
Good luck!!
good luck! I hope you love it
the third song made me bawl my eyes out its so perfect for the song of achilles
one of my favorite book of all time
Thank you for making this playlist, so now I can grieve from having finished TSOA… 😭
not me blasting the first song over and over again for an hour
this book made me ugly cry
the book absolutely killed me
i found this playlist on my home page of yt and clicked on it by accident - and boom, first song starts and its my current fave song. thats destiny
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
when you know its a good playlist as it starts.
I just cried last night at 2 am like a baby bcz of them!🥺
Mood 😭
i only have like half an hour left on the audio book but still anytime i think of it i start crying.
i love how all Song Of Achilles playlists are sad, soft and wistful. and then there's mine. which is literally 90% screamo
oh, art calms me down so fast....
IFICFKJFFNF I READ CHAPTER 6 AND CHAPTER 7 LISTENING TO THIS PLAYLIST AND OMFGGGG
To think that Achilles has been wondering around afterlife alone thinking where his love is. Why they haven't reunited? Does Patroclus really leave him alone behind just like he died first in life? Hurt my heart so much. When they reach for each other's hands is when I can close my eyes in relieve. I had to close my book and let everything sink in my heart before read it all again.
Btw why Pyrrhus are so brutal like bro chill
the fact that i'm in love with the act of longing
All the readers here
I am currently reading the book and ugh, i love it so much
Danke, sehr schön!
7:44 "please dont go i want you so"
im officially brocken
I'm currently reading the book and this is perfect!!!
Day 2 after finising the book and I'm not fucking okay 😭. I don't regret reading it; in fact, I'm so glad to have read such a masterpiece, but it hurtss. I can't even imagine what will happen to them in the afterlife which should somehow relieve the pain I'm feeling, all my head do is just imagining all the what ifs while dwelling on their memories, questioning what really happened in the Iliad like what if Eris got invites to Thetis and Peleus' wedding and didn't throw that fucking golden apple, what if Aphrodite didn't promise the most beautiful girl to Paris, what if Paris didn't take Helen from Menelaus Oh my goodness, my heart is breaking...
Zero dislikes, as it should be
The fact that I’m getting this book and I’m gonna be listening to this while I read it (I’ll update when I get the book :])
I'm halfway through the book but I'm hesitant to continue. Because yesterday while I was searching for songs abt TSOA, I accidentally spoiled myself and now I know what's gonna happen!! I'm not happy abt it. In fact, I couldn't sleep that night and I just cried myself to sleep in the end 😭 but still, I've continued a bit and I'm sure soon enough I'll be finish with the book. Despite the unfortunate events of me having spoiled myself of the story, I still feel the joy reading their love and life, as well as the terrible foreboding feeling that I've started feeling since I know what is to come for them 🙂 (btw, is this comment a spoiler? Idk. Sorry if it is)
Beautiful🥺💜

Thank you for this beautiful playlist.
I am going to create an animatic for this book and this playlist will be my main inspiration other than the book. Looking forward to telling how it goes by the end of the month 🖤
Wish me luck
P.S.: Love your channel to death
I have started the song of achilles today. And I'm getting goosebumps
I'm not sure what to read- the comments or the story. All of them are beautiful ❤️
I just finished reading the book and I am crying so hard and I thought the mother would never ever like Patroclus but in the end she brought them back together even though before she hated him 😢
This is such a nice playlist, I'm really hoping i can get my hands on the book soon cuz I really wanna read it ಥ‿ಥ
"DUAS SOMBRAS se aproximam em meio à treva densa e eterna. Suas mãos se
encontram e a luz jorra num dilúvio como se fossem centenas de urnas
entornadas do céu."
"TWO SHADOWS approach amidst the dense and eternal darkness. Their hands
meet and the light gushes out in a deluge as if they were hundreds of urns
spilled from the sky."
Honestly the only song that reminds me of them is "Born to die"by Lana del Rey. It somehow seems this song was made for them :
"Sometimes love is not enough" Their love was not enough for Achilles to let go of his pride and stop this war.
"Choose your last words, this is the last time"
"You and I, we were born to die". Do I really have to explain this one? From the start, they were meant to die, we always knew an happy ending was not even a possibility (still hurt like crazy though).
omggg this is so beautiful!! 💞 can i please request for a tracklist 🥺👉🏻👈🏻
