The tragedy of Achilles isn't that he got mad and was punished for it through the death of his friend.

The tragedy of Achilles is that it took him ten years and a very stupid argument to realize that dying in a pointless war against people who never wronged him was a complete waste of his life and that he valued living over glory, but at that point it was too late to disentangle himself from the cycle of violence that would claim his best friend/lover and inevitably himself.

Achilles & Patroclus

[swftmoony]

why is everyone obsessed over romeo and juliet when the holy trinity of gay tragic lovers exits!? like alexander the great, achilles and apollo didn’t lose hephaestion, patroclus and hyacinthus for everyone to forget about them!! like they’re the same but one is a myth, the other is a book, and the one that was real

Achilles: Agamemnon, do you believe in reading omens by watching the birds?

Agamemnon: yes of course

Achilles: watch out

Sometimes I see really angsty fanart or of a character death and go "why would you do this?!? This is so evil" and then remember oh wait yeah that happened in canon actually.

[neteyammeowmeow]
