Am I the only one who doesn't understand why people say that The Song of Achilles ruined the way people perceive Achilles and Patroclus because like most of the time when people are making statements about The Song Of Achilles they don't mean it about every interpretation of Patroclus and Achilles to me that feels like comparing Hazbin Hotel to The Bible sure Hazbin Hotel uses the idea of Christianity but I'm sure it's clear to everybody that if they want to actually read the Bible they could like if you want to read The Iliad then read The Iliad this is just a personal opinion but also people saying that Madeline Miller is misogynistic for writing from the perspective of a man in a time where woman were expected to just handle things really miss the point to me it's good writing if you feel like you're reading from the perspective of a man because you are reading from the perspective of a man growing up in a time where women being assaulted is normal "the woman were all props" yeah that's the point that's how women were seen honestly it would have been worse if she didn't show the brutality of a man's thinking back then so many people act like this is a book being told from a completely objective standpoint and Miller is just sitting here telling us her world views when she's writing as a character
