Achilles can kiss my ass. Of course blame a woman because of your ego and pride. All of this happened because a king didn’t want to give his slave back to her father and it made a god, Apollo angry. Men are annoying children sometimes. All of the men in this book are insufferable, well maybe not Patroclus but even he was still a rapist and kept a slave.

“His mother is a fish.” I don’t know why that made me laugh. But this book is good, I like it a lot except for the women being slaves part. Achilles and Patroclus’s relationship seems sweet enough but how Achilles treats Briseis is disgusting like I know she’s a prisoner of war technically but like ew. It weird about the sex and his mother stuff like what?
