I love buffy summers so much. she genuinely thinks that if she wasn't the slayer she would be normal. girl I'm so sorry to tell you that the freak is in your blood and chosen or not you never would've escaped that

The fact that such a constant theme in the Iliad being that they need to fight to find the glory that will keep them being remembered is directly fought against with the modern audience remembering three of its most famous men (Meneleus, Odysseus, and Achilles) for the love they held is such an interesting and poetic thing. Perhaps a few people lose the plot of the story with it, but the futility of the belief they hold in their story is so interesting in today's interests.

so madeline miller based her patroclus off the troilus and cressida rendition and one line specifically, something like ‘war makes him sick to think of’ but patroclus in the iliad is actually a fucking goat. he’s fast, a good healer, noticeably older that achilles (older men had beards and in most art renditions patroclus was bearded) and was literally so good in achilles’s armor that the gods had to prevent him from taking troy. HE WOULD HAVE TAKEN TROY. Homer’s Patroclus was the guy that cried to Achilles about all the men dying and then proceeded to whoop ass about it. icon. he also made achilles promise to marry briseis, which is actually really nice because it means briseis would have a real place of power and security rather than being a slave for life.
