Basically men are dumb, prideful, selfish, etc.
I do really love this book though
Also, I’m very obviously anti-war but I do just love a war centered book (sorry friends talk to text )

Patroclus is dead and now I’m gonna cry
I’m reading the Fitzgerald translation but I’ll reread as Emily Wilson’s at some point.
A lot of the book is just fighting which is interesting but this book is just a war. I do love a warrior mourning his lover…

There’s too many people in this and women as war prizes makes me angry
Also certified Achilles hater here and I’m reading the the silence of the girls next or after the odyssey. (Everyone should read if they read either of homers epics)
