Pyrrhus Quotes

“Achilles' story never ends: wherever men fight and die, you'll find Achilles.”
― Pat Barker, The Women of Troy

“But fame is a strange thing. Some men gain glory after they die, while others fade. What is admired in one generation is abhorred in another...We cannot say who will survive the holocaust of memory. Who knows?...Perhaps one day even I will be famous. Perhaps more famous than you.'
'I doubt it.'
Odysseus shrugs. 'We cannot say. We are men only, a brief flare of the torch. Those to come may raise us or lower us as they please. Patroclus may be such as will rise in the future.'
'He is not.”
― Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

“She made Pyrrhus, and loved him more than Achilles.”
― Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles
