"ilya as achilles" "shane as patroclus" WRONG. put aside the blond and brunet trope and walk with me.
achilles was the golden boy saviour who was looked up to and later repeatedly slammed for doing something that changed the course of a major event (refusing to fight in the war/shane tripping during playoffs). patroclus topped was the companion from another region whose death (or presumed, in this case) made achilles (shane) change his actions, AND he followed achilles and his orders everywhere.
shane is achilles. ilya is patroclus.
