I CRIED. SO HARD. IN THE LAST THREE CHAPTERS. what his mother did in the final chapter for Patroclus killed me when in the close they mention throwing figs between Achilles and Patroclus? Weeping. So beautifully written the whole way through. Really felt like I was there on the Greek isles too. Briesies is underrated.
