That shit hurted. So happy I didn't feel lost for not having had a Percy Jackson phase. Even with a dozen names being listed in any given chapter, I was able to understand who was who and what was going on.
I knew it was sad but somehow still was caught off guard when Briseis dubbed Patroclus the best of the Myrmidons. I would've gone fucking apeshit if Patroclus never got his name on the tomb.
