Absolutely. This book changed my life. The way Madeline miller writes is so majestic and makes you fall in love with the characters. I also particularly liked how she told the story of Patroclus and Achilles and made it how historians really think that it was. The only thing I found that was very different was the way that she portrayed Patroclus as someone who was weak and unable to fend for himself but I also think that player into the way she wanted him to be seen and the story in itself. The only downside is after I read this book I got stuck cause I wasn’t able to find a book that would make me feel like this one.
