song of achilles
why did achilles go to therapy? to heel his emotional trauma.
speaking of emotional trauma, our book for historical fiction month is the song of achilles by madeline miller and this episode is a doozy. historians have marvelled at and theorised about the man, the myth, the legend that is achilles for centuries but have never come close to the hot takes we here at talk lit have come up with. risk the wrath of the gods with us as we discuss the lore, the mystery of how to correctly pronounce greek names and why patroclus was so obsessed with feet. (he would have loved onlyfans).
