• the song of achilles
  • <history is> a pattern of timeless momen... Achilles/Patroclus
    • Achilles knew his truest triumphs would never be strung together in verse to be sung at campfires, knew that no poet or aoidos would ever know his greatest success. No, these conquests – the huff of Patroclus' laughter against his throat, the sharp, sea-salt taste of Patroclus' skin after a swim, the way Patroclus' eyelids fluttered after every kiss – those were Achilles' alone to cherish.
