FUCKING HELL ACHILLES CHILL

Mixed bag so far. Finding it tricky to keep up at times (likely because it's a relatively unfamiliar experience for me and there's quite a lot of characters introduced at the start), but I'm really enjoying the character dynamics and classical melodrama of it all.

Achilles rejects Agamemnon's offers and refuses to rejoin the Greek forces, even after his closest Greek friends plead with him to take pity on his comrades and save them from the Trojans. Achilles' stern determination is unmoved, and he sticks by his anger. He has strong feelings about being treated unjustly even after his dedication to the Greek cause.

What shall a man do in such a case?

None of this would have happened if they just aimed for Paris bro

Damn Diomedes tf they did to you

Why do all these retellings slag off Helen the poor woman’s depressed. #freemyqueen
