 A touching story of love, prophecy and hubris in Ancient Greece. The Song of Achilles follows the life and love of Achilles and Patroclus from age 5 when they first met, till their untimely deaths in the final years of the Trojan War. The book expands on the relationship as described in Homer’s The Iliad
