patroclus' death really is one of the most chilling and cinematic moments in the iliad and it's kinda crazy that everytime it got adapted on screen it got reduced to a lackluster due with hector you literally have an entire scene rught in front of you down to the shot of the dust and blood soiling the helmet. i get why it's easier to reduce it to hector getting it wrong but it's so reductive of the scene as a whole. that eerie moment when apollo comes down clouded in mist and disarms patroclus, him being left completely helpless and dazed and unarmed, euphorbus' part in it, hector muscling through the crowd to get to him

The book of Mormon closed in Madrid today 😔

Trying to have a positive spin on the finale
