Books: Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, the Iliad by Homer, the Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker
In the end, their love story endures like nothing else. I’ve always wanted a love like that, you know? A love that could set the world on fire. A love that could change the course of history, that could burn the world down. Patroclus and Achilles really are the definition of epic love. Could you imagine loving someone that much? That passionately? (Reflections of a romantic teenager who’s never been in love, but still.) No matter which way you tell it, or whose perspective you tell it from, the story of the Trojan War, one of the most famous stories of all time, always becomes, at least partially, a story about their love. Their names will be linked together until the end of time. Now that’s what I call a romance.
