Is it just me or does everyone who read the Iliad have a crush on Hector of Troy?

[lorata]

so another thing when you pay attention to the names of one-off characters is the unending cycle of violence, and for what

someone gets killed, and their companion gets angry and tries to kill their murderer. but they miss and kill someone else! and then that person's friend gets angry and tries to kill the person who killed them, but THEY miss and kill someone else, and then that friend --

this keeps happening, not only multiple times in the same battle but in multiple battles over multiple books

no one gets avenged, the circle never closes, the deaths keep piling on in an endless wave of collateral damage and that is war. the cycle of violence continues, and for what

Completely forgot that Achilles says, "I'm not like other girls. If I went to Elysium and drank from the River of Forgetfulness, I simply would not forget my beloved Patroclus. RIP to you other amnestic soldiers, but I'm different."

If I was Jason I would simply not abandon my hot enchantress wife who commits murder on my behalf. Rip to Jason but I love when women are terrifying.

You want me to go to "therapy"? The thing Patroclus did to Achilles?
