Madeline Miller's Achilles Song
The Song of Achilles is a novel that has entered the hearts of many readers and has been among the best-selling books on Amazon for weeks. Forget Troy, the war scenarios, the duels, the blood, the death. Forget the violence and the massacres, the cruelty and the horror. And follow instead the journey of two young people, first friends, then lovers and finally also comrades in arms - two young people splendid for their youth and beauty, destined to end their life on the Trojan plain and to remain united forever with the ashes mixed in a single, very precious urn. Madeline Miller, scholar and teacher of classical antiquity, recalls the love and death story of Achilles and Patroclus, bending the solemn rhythm of the epic to the reconstruction of a story that has left few but unmistakable traces: a bond between men stripped of all morbidity and restored to the naturalness with which the ancient Greeks recognized and accepted homosexuality. Patroclus dies in place of Achilles, for Achilles, and Achilles no longer wants to live without Patroclus. On the walls of Troy two very high shadows loom that obscure the now worn story of Helen and Paris.
