@@angelyj.7807 ah, i kinda thought that we don’t have a choice u know, it’s controversial ofcourse maybe we do, but yeah if there was a choice i don’t think they would ever leave each other 🥺
@@ghoullover6040 some part of me believe that we do and that “forever” is a long time that we want to experience new things as souls, yeah know and that’s why sometimes you feel like you don’t belong and that you belong in the world you created because that’s were you were before here. (I do hope you know what I’m talking about or else I’ll look crazy) 💀
When I think of Achilles' love I think of figs, an olive crown, golden curls mingling with dark brown locks. When I think of Achilles' rage I think of a spear piercing through metal, flesh, and bone. A blood and dirt-stained face only interrupted by dark mossy eyes. I think of a lion and it's prey. And I think of golden curls gathered, ripped out, and falling onto the chest of a fallen lover.
If you EVER write and publish a book, sign me up to read it first cuz this sort of poetry and imagery was not what I expected from a yt comment section!
I think the last two or three pages in the book broke me so bad. It is a month since I read it and I can't get over this story. It's like mourning the loss of a good friend. Ahh I hope someday I will get over it. This book really touched my soul and my heart. I will never forget it ❤️
I just realized that when they were younger, Patroclus was easily carried away with rage, envy, and pride. Not until him meeting Achilles, whose warmth melts every hatred and loneliness he has, steps in. "He smiled, and his face was like the sun." Patroclus saw Achilles as the light that brought him out of the darkness. A companion that assured him he never had to walk alone. And a lover that accepted all his imperfections. However, as they grow older. We can see how the picture suddenly flipped. Achilles turned out to be the one conquered by hatred and pride, while Patroclus became everyone's sunshine. Achilles was cutting throats, Patroclus heals through his words. In spite of all, in spite of Achilles' earthquakes and mistakes: Patroclus' love accepted him, whole. And when the time came that Patroclus begged his lover to fight, joined the war, killed a demigod, and died---we saw how a part of Achilles died inside as well. To him, Patroclus was sunshine and he was midnight rain. To conclude, it made me realize how they are both each other's light whenever one goes astray. Achilles' attitude towards that end may be upsetting, but that only strongly hints that despite of being a demigod, he is more of a human. And he took accountability for his wrong choices, grieving for his Philtatos, most beloved, Patroclus. Indeed, the characters were imperfect, but it is their flaws that emphasize the art of being human. That these imperfections are nothing compared to the perfect love they have for each other, even in the afterlife. "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 the sun." Patroclus and Achilles' love is boundless and everlasting, no one compares.
The hitch in the voice on “if you love me-“ and the emphasis on the “anything” on “anything else” both have such emotion in them I can’t this book is so beautifully written I can’t I’m gone Edit: I just finished soa and i am sobbing and have been for like an hour- I am a wreck. At least they’re now together in the underworld
i finished it last night and i cried straight for the last 50 pages. I was bawling my eyes out like a baby. And, like I knew what what going to happen. I know what happens in the iliad. Yet i still cried and cried and cried.
I've read a lot of books throughout the years and I swear none of them have left an deep, lasting impact on my life the way that this book has. Not a day goes by where I don't think of this incredible story, the characters, and the beautiful love that these two had for one another. Since they want to turn books into movies and shows, I seriously hope they consider this book.
SPOILER: I think the thing that breaks my heart the most is that it was Achilles’ ego that really killed Patroclus. He put his reputation above everything else, ignoring all the warnings and allowed Patroclus to go into battle. Achilles had spent his whole life since meeting Patroclus protecting him and ensuring, no matter what, they would be together. But when it came to it, he sent him away leaving him to die alone. He ignored Patroclus’ begging, ignoring his pleas and basically killed him.
I think you can't describe achillies honor and what it meant to him as "ego". To the people who lived back then honor meant more than to us now. Our preception of that concept has changed drastically. I really love that about achillies character in soa. Madeline Miller doesn't change his values to make him a more likable character to us, readers from another time period.
When the prophecy said that the “best of myrmidons” would die first, i knew baby Pat was it. And then Breseis says it too and omg. Achilles would’ve been devastated at his death.
This is the most beautiful book I have ever read. Period. I finished it last night bawling my eyes out for the last 50 pages even though i knew exactly how it was going to end. It’s a masterpiece. I don’t think I have ever read a book that has impacted me so much. If you haven’t read it, read it now, you will be sad but hearing their story is worth every tear.
when patroclus had more to say before he went into the battle but thought he would have other times to say it but obviously never could i honestly cried so hard.
@@leni3862 oh I am 100% enjoying it i hate reading a lot but this book Omgs I love it so much I am 10000% rereading it even tho it makes me sad it also makes me have a lot of other emotions I’m about to be crying in class tho lol

"The gods wished to punish him" Chiron answered. Achilles shook his head, impatiently. "But this was a greater punishment for her. It was not fair of them." "There is no law that gods must be fair, Achilles" Chiron said. "And perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone. Do you think?"
"In the darkness. Two shadows, reaching into the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in like a hundred gold urns pouring out the sun"
I finished this book recently and I haven't been able to move on to another book since. The memories of Achilles and patroclus back in phthia when they sat on the beach, patroclus admired him while he played the lyre and watched him lovingly while he slept, their happy days filled with laughter in pelion, and then achilles seeing patroclus dead and keeping his body in his tent with him holding it all night, achilles later dying with a smile on his face, their ashes mingled and buried together and then them finally reuniting in the underworld with no war or death to separate them ever. I try hard not to think about them or the book, but it's just not possible. I wish the time had stopped for the whole world except them when they were in Pelion together having the best time of their life and Achilles would still be the innocent & modest Achilles rather than the proud & heartless Achilles :(
eu compartilho 100% desse sentimento! eu não consegui deixar de pensar em como os dois, ainda tão jovens vivendo algo tão bonito puderam passar por coisas tão terríveis de uma hora para outra. Eles mereciam mais, eles mereciam ser felizes.
I was depressed for days after finishing it for the first time. I cried on and off at work and in school and moped for the rest of it. I had to start a new high fantasy series to distract myself.
I notice that a lot of us readers in the comment section are mad at Achilles. They are mad at him because he basically sent Patroclus to his death. Well... that is understandable. There's nothing wrong about being mad. But there is wrong in hating him for it. Maybe...maybe he was mad at himself when it happened. Maybe he hated himself afterwards. Maybe some of that grief and pain we see when Patroclus died was Achilles realizing that it wasn't Patroclus that did it himself but Achilles that did it to him. Imagine a half of your soul dying because of your own pride? Would you have felt those same emotions? Yes. You would have. You would have been torn apart, utterly torn apart. You might have raged, as Achilles done, wept as he did. You might have destroyed and killed and ravaged, as he did. You might have felt the desire for life fade away, like there was nothing more to live for. Like he did. Then, after he finally passed, he still wasn't with Patroclus. Neither could rest until, finally, Achilles's mother added Patroclus's name to the monument. Taking pity on them. It was only then they could be reunited. Only then they could rest. Think about this. Remember that every decision we make, every word we speak, never affects only us. There is at least one other person whose life will be altered. We never see the true effects we make in others.
Remember how patroclus didn't say all the things he needed to say to achilles cuz in patroclus' prospective there were other times to talk, after the battle, tomorrow and all the days after tomorrow😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
His smell makes everything stand still. It’s like time moves slower and faster at the same time when we’re together. I smelled him and I was brought back to the time we met. It shocked me. He asked me what it was, seeing my reaction. I shook it off because I couldn’t bring myself to tell him, “it’s you”.
I just finished it and yeah no I’m not ok it broke me and I cried 12 times now because for this book I love it but the ending confused me a little idk if they are together or not I think they are I hope
I feel you on a deeper level. The ending is meant to be interpreted by the reader, so I’m pretty sure there is no correct answer as to how it ends which i find extremely beautiful and heart wrenching. Im so glad you enjoyed it it truly is a work of beauty
Well according to greek mythology and belief, the ending was quite literally Achilles welcoming him to the underworld, so yea ig it's better to think they did.
Im 100% sure they are together at the end. Remember when Patroclus said "I could recognise him by touch, 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." Even the ending where their souls find eachother in the underworld indicates that. Their death is immenesly tragic but I'm happy that they were able to find peace.. hand in hand.
I just finished the book tonight, and the way patroclus talks about achilles towards the end, and the use of" this and this" just melted me.i had to stop and gather myself when there was like 30 to 40 pages left because of how emotional it was. What a sad love story but also the most loving one as well. Such a fantastic book.
this book has such a hold on me i can’t get over it. im happy they are in the underworld together but i wish they didn’t have to go through all the pain and could of lived happy, beautiful lives together like when they were with chiron.
The last few chapters killed me!!We can't finish the book without crying.Also,i am so happy that they reunited in the underworld and for that closure!!Uff..no idea what I would have done if thetis didn't patroclus's name on the wall beside Achilles!!
Why is RUclips recommending this every morning after I just finished the book 🙁🙁 can't say I'm upset though- the pain is all worth it for the beauty and emotions I managed to feel because of the book
I have done it," she says. At first I do not understand. But then I see the tomb, and the marks she has made on the stone. A C H I L L E S, it reads. And beside it, P A T R O C L U S. "Go," she says. "He waits for you." 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.
It hurt me too much to read the part where Patroclus was compared to Cleopatra. The parallels are almost identical, it hurts me to read the paragraphs of desperate patroclus over the war. It was profound to read how he crouched down and begged Achilles through tears.
the ending of the book honestly broke me. idk why i hoped some fictional happy ending would happen and they’d magically come back but they didn’t and i just wish happiness for them.
I wished they could have stayed with Chiron on Mount Pelion forever. I wanted them to stay there, and be happy there forever. With nothing more to do but to love and grow with each other.
Patroclus Lament -Original " Alas Achilles now that thy blood has spilled and thy war has been won What shall ye do now that i am dead? Do you intend to battle hades for thine soul? Or shall you find another who has loved you the way i have? For our life is but the fragrance of time lost , bitter mellow, with burst of euphoria... I shall know you as in life, as in death" 0:08

Achilles’ eyes lift. They are bloodshot and dead. “I wish he had let you all die.

If you haven't: what place are you at, do you like it so far?
I've just finished this book yesterday... Sobbing-
This book hurts me
THIS HURT SO MUCH OMG
this book has me sobbing, screaming and punching tables
saw a hannibal edit to this monolog but it sadly got deleted I wish I could watch it again
I watch this on repeat everyday
the ending of the book honestly broke me. idk why i hoped some fictional happy ending would happen and they’d magically come back but they didn’t and i just wish happiness for them.
I did not just cry watching this 5 minutes before my exam starts
I wished they could have stayed with Chiron on Mount Pelion forever.
I wanted them to stay there, and be happy there forever. With nothing more to do but to love and grow with each other.
Just finished reading the book😭
"Zeus I don't feel so well"
This book broke me
My heart shattered when he said "If you love me"
Also me:LETT ME GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This book is such an emotional release. I'm scared to read it. Hell die I'm not ready lmao
The last 30 or so pages will rip ur heart, take a pack of tissues with u.
@@nuzeee_k i was doing a hell of a job not crying untill "he waits for you" This book should have trigger warning tbh
@@arpitalalwani6520 haha I started crying the second patroclus died and didn't stop till the end
I finished this book today and started crying
I cried so hard because i remember this scene, which is very hurtful
The ending was so bittersweet 🙁
"Name one hero who was happy"
I'm in so much pain
Second line was my favourite
i think it is absolutely destroying that patroclus died for achilles' pride. he deserved better :(
I cried out of happiness when i read the last page
my god i'm crying bye
Patroclus Lament -Original
" Alas Achilles now that thy blood has spilled and thy war has been won
What shall ye do now that i am dead?
Do you intend to battle hades for thine soul?
Or shall you find another who has loved you the way i have?
For our life is but the fragrance of time lost , bitter mellow, with burst of euphoria...
I shall know you as in life, as in death" 0:08
