#patroclus
Some of ya’ll didnt go riding into battle between greece and troy in ur bf’s armor and it shows-
I just finished Song Of Achilles and my eyes burn with the weight of unshed tears. Even though, I, as a greek myth fanatic, knew how the story ended, I still hoped against all hope that they would live. They had a love like no others; Achilles fought a river for Patroclus and Patroclus d!ed for Achille’s honour. Plz read the book so we can cry together….
achilles every time ppl offered him girl servants to spend the night with in phthia:
If you have to go, you know I will go with you

Me: THERE IS NO HETEROSEXUAL EXPLANATION FOR THIS
My friend: TYPICAL ARCHEOLOGY
“My great friend is gone: Patroklus–comrade in arms– whom I held dear above all others, dear as myself, now gone, lost.”
Iliad init
Patroclus, at Achilles’ funeral: Can i have a moment alone with him?
Odysseus: Of course *leaves*
Patroclus, leaning over Achilles’ coffin: Now listen, I know you’re not dead.
Achilles: Yeah no shit
Odysseus: Hey, Patroclus, can you take out the trash?
Patroclus: I would, but you’re already outside.
Odysseus:
Patroclus: *high fives Achilles*
Patroclus: *completely serious* I have to get something off my chest…
Achilles:is it your shirt?? I hope its your shirt please
Patroclus: Just to be sure, are you asking me romantically or platonically?
Achilles, down on one knee, ring still out: You did not just fucking ask me that-
Odysseus:are you a cuddler?
Achilles: I AM A MACHINE OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION-
Patroclus: yeah he’s a cuddler.
Odysseus, reading a fortune cookie: if you kill a killer, the number of killers in the world stays the same.
Achilles, with a mouth full of takeout: kill two
Patroclus: please promise me you won’t die in battle. I’m scared.
