a war that started out as a pursuit to return helen to menalaus became a war for men to defend their pride/egos, and achieve glory. in the end, it was always a game for the gods. the gods laid out the fates of the mortals and used them as game pieces for their resentment against other gods

first time reading the iliad and i enjoyed butler’s translation. his words about achilles and patroclus were beautiful

tyson is my son
i will not allow anyone to be mean to him

ROUND 2 YAYYY

finished my first percy jackson book! 👏 that was so fun

the luke plot twist is really good even though i already knew beforehand but dang i bet that shocked a bunch of 9 year olds

that last scene with annabeth and percy AWWW

“If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself. I can't let a god take care of me...or my son. I have to...find the courage on my own. Your quest has reminded me of that.”
percy and sally 🥲🥲

also the scenes between him and poseidon had me tearing up for some reason #daddyissues

“I had spend thousands of miles worried that I’d be betrayed by a friend, but these friends would never do that. They had done nothing but save me, over and over, and now they wanted to sacrifice their lives for my mom”

FINALLY READING THIS SERIES 😆

i am devasted. i am heartbroken. i am crushed.
i. will. never. be. the. same.

read the last few pages, specifically thetis and patroclus’s soul conversation, as if it were flashbacks of my dead wife except it was achilles

i couldnt be more happy and healed that these two met again in the underworld 💘

f*ck pyrrhus that’s a spawn of the devil fr

oh achilles💔💔💔💔 i am so sorry
he held patroclus’s dead body all night i can’t

the way i vividly imagined this scene in my head and I couldn’t stop crying I STILL CANT STOP CRYING

PATROCLUS DONT TAKE UNNECESSARY JOURNEYS WHYYYYYY OH WHYYYYYYY
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

also i hate agamemnon btw when does he ***

achilles when i catch you…
nothing i hate more than a man’s pride
STAND UPPPPP

im on patroclus’s side

7 or 8 years have passed wtf
i feared achilles and patroclus were about to become distant but they still treated each other the same thankfully

patroclus becoming the official medic iktr so proud of him

briseis wanting a child with patroclus and achilles getting jealous at the thought of it

i dont have a good feeling about the prophecy…
only 100 pages left im so close to doom and despair 🥲

craving for those little sweet moments between achilles and patroclus when one or both go out to war

just arrived in troy #terrified #takemebacktomountpelion

only halfway through and this is the best book I’ve ever read
so beautifully written and tragic
THE SADNESS IS BEGINNING I DONT KNOW IF I CAN DO THIS

what a crazy series of events i can’t believe all of that happened 😭
I WAS STRESSED
im so happy the lynch children survived but omg what could’ve been is so terrifying and tragic

the highlight was when aoife started beating up bella to defend joey and shannon

i love seeing shannon become more confident!!

gibsie and claire are my fav part
need to hurry this up so I can get to their book!!!

FINALLY a book and a quarter later, johnny and shannon are official 🙏

WE GOT THE LOVE CONFESSIONS

i love gibsie and claire
gibsie is so funny im glad he’s around

lowk i feel bad for darren, i understand where he’s coming from and what he’s gone through
everyone in that family has gone through something similar but individually different
i wish they could just TALK

im glad the story has started to focus more shannon’s family issues

i feel bad for everyone and i understand each of their perspectives i hate how its become a competition between the siblings 😔
