“The Song of Achilles” is a fantasy novel in which American writer Madeline Miller reimagines ancient Greek myths and legends to retell the events of the Trojan War from the perspective of Patroclus. This man never stood out for strength, agility, or sharp intellect. But he always understood duty and remained devoted to Achilles, for whom he was ready to sacrifice his personal happiness. His closest friend, childhood companion, and beloved was worth even self-sacrifice…
Winner of the Women’s Prize for Fiction 2012 and the Gaylactic Spectrum Award 2013
A New York Times and The Sunday Times bestseller
Patroclus is an exiled, shy prince with a kind heart. Achilles is a fearless warrior, the son of a sea goddess. Their friendship begins in youth, when neither yet knows who they are destined to become. Shared training, studies under the centaur Chiron, and quiet conversations slowly build a bond that grows into love.
But when war looms over Greece and Achilles is called to glory, they face a path full of trials. Their love — tender and devoted — is caught in the whirlwind of battles, honor, brutal fame, and choices that will forever change the course of history.
