do you call it 'soulmate' or '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.'

when kafka said ‘you wouldn’t believe the kind of person I could become if you wanted it’ and when brontë said ‘if you ever looked at me with what I know is in you, I would be your slave’ and when Sartre said ‘if I’ve got to suffer it may as well be at your hands’

Imagine if the Trojan war had a groupchat
Achilles: Has anyone seen Patroclus?
Ajax: I can confirm he just typed that while ripping some Trojans head off. Someone better find Pat
———
Hector: dude I’m so done with this war. Can’t we just give Helen back and get this over with?
Odysseus: huh, that’s a strategy I hadn’t thought of yet
Trojan soldier: we’ve been fighting for ten years over one woman???
*Paris left the groupchat*
———
Odysseus: yo Trojans! Besties! We just kinda gave up… so you win the war! Congrats :) also we left a little present for you at the city gates for you!!
Priam (king of Troy): seems legit
*a couple of hours later*
That one Trojan soldier that survived: what the fuck was that

When people hate on tsoa for romanticizing Achilles when that’s literally that point. The book is from Patroclus’ POV of course it’s going to make Achilles look like a good person. Patroclus is taking about half of his soul. The novel is about how Patroclus romanticizes Achilles even though he was literally built for war. Patroclus is so blinded by his love that he ignore all that Achilles is or has done wrong. This doesn’t mean that everything Patroclus thinks, is true. Achilles did terrible things but the book isn’t about changing Achilles, it’s about showing how powerful Patroclus and Achilles love was and how it changed their view of each other.
Yes, this book may be historically incorrect in Patroclus and Achilles characters but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad book. It an INTERPRETATION of a Greek MYTH.
It isn’t written to be accurate it’s written to make you feel the love, grief, joy, and admiration that Patroclus had for Achilles.
