i really love watching and reading adaptations of the iliad where achilles is portrayed as being really awesome and cool because every time i see that i think of the time in the iliad where he was so mad that he yelled at a horse and also fought a river
also remember how the horse fucking told achilles that he was gonna die
achilles: you left patroclus on the battlefield
xanthus: We shall still keep you safe for this time, o hard Akhilleus. And yet the day of your death is near, but it is not we who are to blame, but a great god and powerful Destiny. For it was not because we were slow, because we were careless, but it was that high god, the child of lovely-haired Leto, who killed him among the champions and gave the glory to Hektor
