From a book The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller: www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
The Song of Achilles retells the events of Homer’s Iliad told from the perspective of Patroclus. The book reimagines the relationship between ancient Greek Trojan war heroes Achilles and Patroclus. The novel follows Patroclus' relationship with Achilles, from their initial meeting to their exploits during the Trojan War, with a particular focus on their romantic relationship.

Thank you guys for 600+ subscribers!!! 😭❤️ i love reading all of your comments they make my day!
My favorite part of the whole book is the fact that literally EVERYONE KNEW about them and it wasn't a big deal. Odysseus was just like, "oh yea there's only one bed in there cause I heard you two are sleeping together."
Yeah, and the only "bad" thing they thought about their relationship is that Achilles is a demi-god and Patriclos is a commoner
In the greek mythology it was normal and very common
except for achilles' mf asshat of a son
i dont like that guy one bit
@@studenthebbare8149 I've never wanted to kick a fictional child more
Do you guys know the page number? I’m gonna mark pages that have quotes with significance to me
me describing madeline miller:
shes an awful person. shes cruel and evil. she is a life ruiner. i love her.
EXACTLY
i say "i hate her with all my soul. i love her and her writing so much."
i do not know why Madeleine miller is hated and ive seen multiple people saying so... why is it??
@@fluidragon it's a joke about how she wrote such a beautiful book but also then broke all our hearts at the end
@@blakemarkulin932 ahh i thought that could be the case cause ive used that saying myself for different situations but ive seen some people use it with such conviction i thought maybe there was something else... thanks for clarifying
I agree with most people when they say Achilles didn’t deserve Patroclus. But even so, I can’t imagine anyone with Patroclus than Achilles. Achilles would have been worse if he never fell in love Patroclus and I don’t think Patroclus would ever be the same if he was never exiled to Achilles. They felt quite literally made for each other together.
The main reason why I cried during this book was because Achilles said he was going to be the first happy hero because of Patroclus. Achilles even made him swear it and in the end.. Achilles didn’t even get to be the happy hero that he wanted to be. Idk when that realization hit me it just made me cry even more lol
For me it the time when Patroclus went to the war and Achilles was thinking that he will come back and it will all be over They will be back together but god fates had something else decided.
People always say I overreact about how sad I think this book is, but as someone who had never loved anyone, not even her own family, feeling real love for the first time and it ending like that, I just didn't even know how to react. It hurt, a lot.
Anywayyy now I wright fanfics.
At least they're together now, even in death, so that's good?
@@aprajitamahanta6201 that's literally the only thing keeping me sane
If we hadn’t gotten the Thetis grave thing, we all would’ve rioted.
My friend read this first and was bawling I was like jeez how sad could it be and then I read it in public and I couldn’t stop crying??? People were literally giving me weird stares but I couldn’t stop reading or crying D: Madeline Miller has a strange hold over her readers fr.
"I never had anything taken away from me before."
😬 why
"I haven't been angry before."
🤦♀️ my god stop. 😂 This book literally stabs you in the beginning because you know what's going to happen 🤣
Yas😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I swear they kept repeating the phrase “But Hector has done nothing against me.” and without fail every time I reply ‘Hector will do everything against you.’ as I begin to weep. ⁺◟( ಥ ·̫ ಥ )
the one that hurts the most “what has hector ever done to me?” YOUCH
I’ve heard Achilles come down SO MANY TIMES
but I do not care one bit because I freaking love these
I can't be the only one who didn't cry. I got so fucking happy and angry and sad that I skipped past the crying and was just wallowing in the thought "Why do I do this to myself?"
I went through exactly the same process I literally ripped a few pages if my book when Patroclus' was climbing up the wall because I was so mad at him for going against achilles advice because I just really didn't want him to die but I never cried
I did the same thing, I went from happy to angry to just laying in bed empty. I felt sad a little bit but tbh the last chapter cheered me up so I never cried (plus I don't cry over books). I just kinda put it up and went to sleep.
@@maemae4188 BRO THANK YOU I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE LIKE EVERYONE'S OUT HERE CRYING OVER EVERYTHING AND I'M JUST SITTING HERE LIKE "AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO'S NOT CRYING AT THIS SHIT RN" like don't get me wrong this is one of my favourite books now BUT I DIDN'T CRY THO
@@giaiaiaia exactlyyy I physically don't cry at books, no matter how sad they are. So when I read SoA I was like "I knew this was coming but this fucking BROKE me" yet never shed a single tear
I'm greek and already knew that it would happen, but seeing Achilles' grief broke me, as a bi man myself. Even from Patro's eyes it was so understandable...
GUYS LISTEN
I FOUND THIS YESTERDAY AND YEAH SOME MAY HAVE FOUND IT BEFORE BUT I JUST NEEDED TO RANT ABOHR THIS
on page 280, in the scene when Achilles and Patroclus are fighting over the Briseis situation
Achilles says "Memory is all I can hope for"
AND PATROCLUS LATER SAYS I AM MADE OF MEMORIES
MADELINE MILLER WHAT HOW DO I STILL FIND SO MANY HIDDEN THINGS EVERY TIME I REREAD
8:00 is one of my favorite fanarts done for the two of them. It shows when they were happy, it gives a sense of freedom and gentleness, not to mention it's drawn amazingly. Since I saw this it's been in my head constantly, which is strange considering it's a piece of art.
4:38 this made me so fucking emotional omg. I literally started bawling my eyes out
I feel you, all of the edits of their aesthetic makes me almost cry every time
I like how banana fish's fans are automatically TSOA fans they are literally using their audio like if you think about it Ash and Eiji literally feel as if they are Achilles and patroclus in their next life
I feel like what you said is enough to break every single banana fish fan
@@akina5091 lol "Ash is just sleeping" mode is activated
@@n_n3535 I don't need to have watched banana fish to know that would hurt
DON'T DO ME LIKE THAT
nah bc i started reading TSOA and realised that immediately
Spoiler :
I hate how the war, patroclus' death all of it was so avoidable...
Perhaps in some other life
I know right and they were wondering if they should go and trying to avoid going in the first place!!!
If only they could have gone back to the mountains
but then achilles would have died because of the prophecy and patroclus would have to live his whole life alone...
That's how all wars are, sadly, but we get there anyway and innocents die :')
Guys, it's not a sad book. It got a happy ending, why are people crying? Even if it didn't have a happy ending, it still wouldn't be completely sad. They lived their lives together and they experienced such LOVE. How many people could claim it about their lives? I sure can't .
I mean when Patroclus had died Achilles was torn: in a way he was almost killing himself slowly through his grieving. That hurt me a lot. And the way through Patroclus’ perspective, as he was trying to stop Achilles from hurting but he was dead and could not speak, that hurt a lot too. And it would have been nice to see them grow old together rather than die young and leave to the afterlife, but I agree this book did end in a happy sort of way, although I was still sad myself (sorry if I said anything wrong I’m not great with explaining things)
patroclus died because of achilles.
the way thetis didnt like patroclus but how she wrote his name later on the tomb after listening to patroclus.
his freaking memories made a goddess soft, what did you expect of us mortals..the egos of the gods and goddesses are huge dude.
its small things that make things sad. happy endings just make them a bit better to digest
It’s not a happy ending or a bad ending, it’s what we in the business like to call Bittersweet. The bitter is that they both died tragically and for a while, Patroclus remained as a spirit because some gremlin (we all know who) couldn’t conceive of the idea his dad was in love with Patroclus. Then the sweet comes when Thetis, after hearing all the stories from Patroclus about Achilles and their time together, writes his name down on the temple so that the two of them can be together forever in death.
What hurt me was imagining Achilles breakdown at the sight of Patrocus’ dead body and how after he died he just genuinely didn’t care about anything anymore. Them being reunited is the only thing keeping me sane rn
in the iilad (idk how to spell it so correct me if im wrong) when osydeuss went to the underworld he saw patroclus and achilles reunited
7:53 I DIED lord this is so funny and accurate
i remember crying for patroculos death and achilles anger after patroculos death, but the remarkable thing for me , is me crying for a weak after finishing the book, i felt like i found a friend, i found something very special, and i lost it, i fell my heart breaking into many pieces !
I'M DYING IN THE MIDDLE OF ONLINE CLASS
wow. for anyone who finds this, (and are mature readers. obviously) i totally recommend. madeline miller paints a beautiful story of love and war and how one can strain the other. i bawled my eyes out after i read it. it’s so beautiful. i’m sorry but this story is just different from all the others i have read. it resonates with you and sticks with you. ❤ thank the gods for making this book exist
It's been a week since I read it and I'm still not ok 😭
Bestie, for me it's been about 4 months...I feel like I need I TW before anyone mentions antient Greece
I'm not doing well
Finished it today. I'm dead
Everyone after TSOA: *ugly crying*
Me after it: *stares emotionlessly into the distance*
The fact that i think in the book Chiron referred to patroclus as someone who wont find success with weapons wielding but the WAY HE BECAME ACHILLES IN THE BATTLE FIELD......TO SAVE ACHILLES HONOUR......JUST FOR ACHILLES..........."he even moved like you".......😭
The fact that 2-3 of these made me cry twice amount of the tears......
The ones that contain banana fish AND tsoa is just not ok. IM CRYING SO MUCH I CAN’T STOP.
F*CK I'm only at chapter 8 at the moment and I'm already feeling the pain.
UPDATE: I finished the book and it was beautiful and sad.
How was the pain?
I literally cried just by reading the comments of the people who read it
I'M SORRY, BUT WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND PUT TSOA AND FOOL'S GOLD (by One Direction) TOGETHER? LIKE DID YOU WANT US TO CRY?
Also,
"He's more myself than I am
Whatever our souls are made of,
His and mine are the same"

My reaction to finishing the book was catatonic staring at the ceiling from the floor with silent tears streaming down my face
No bc why is the art at 6:21 and 6:38 so goddamn beautiful 😭! It’s such a masterpiece and the art style is so realistic too!! That’s gonna be how I imagine for a while now
Confirmamos que los rubios y los pelinegros son las mejores parejas pero también las más dolorosas?

Link link link link link link
Some hearts are just not blessed to beat together.
I will never forgive UA-cam for spoiling me the end with a SoA playlist that had the spoiler in the title when I was 5 fucking chapters away from finishing it.
Well the myth is around for a looong time and if you don't know it, it's you're problem that you're uncultured.
@@Monika-hp9dp yeah, I didn't know the myth at all, which made me more excited about reading the book
@@Monika-hp9dp but still, being spoiled by UA-cam's main page is annoying
after reading the book... To relieve the pain FANFICTIONS LEEEZZZGOOOOO
When achillies was lying with patrocolus corpse … i was like dude that’s insane amount of love .. dude i remember crying from like chapter 30
Not the ash and eiji audio
Those hurt the most.
Song at 1:56 when the person is drawing Achilles? That's a banger
The song is fairytale by Alexander Rybak!
Alright! Fine. You convinced me to read it. I’m going to try to order it right now.
i love this book sm :'(
01:44 that's so relatable, i'm in pain
We shall all cry together
Ist random but my favourite god is Apollo. When I read that Apollo is kind of the reason why Patroclus died I was like:
Oh Shit
lol i hate apollo. he kills everyone i love in these books tbh 😂
Ouch.
day 4 crying over patrochilles after finishing tsoa ಥ‿ಥ
5:07 YES WE WERE
Wait how did she get the dust jacket? (1:14) that's so cool where can you do that??

@@leni3862 thanks youuu♡
I wanted to cry when reading but I didn't. Why, cause I was in public-
0:19 yk what would be funny? If the asthaetic pics were just graves
yalls personal opinions: Did Achilles and Patroclus really exist, and like some chinese history got tied into religion or myths, or were they really just stories the whole time?
OMG!!!! I THOUGHT THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO ASSOCIATED 'WHERE'S MY LOVE' BY SYML WITH THIS BOOK!!! BUT NO!!! I'M SO DAMN HAPPY TO FINALLY FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO!!!!!! ua-cam.com/video/ma06CFbl080/v-deo.html
