The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

5.0

Don't mind me, I'm just drowning in a pool of my tears.

This has been the best, most poignant retelling of any Greek mythology, and I can't believe i didn't read this much earlier.

And after reading this book, I am now pissed that my high school English lit classes never covered the homoerotic relationship between Achilles and Patroclus. Missed out on some prime storytelling.
