Set in the time of ancient Greece, 'The Song of Achilles' is a tender retelling of the Trojan War, narrated by Patroclus, a young prince in exile. He befriends Achilles, 'the best of all the Greeks,' whose strength and beauty were unrivaled—and who is destined to be the hero's greatest tragedy. Under the tutelage of the centaur Chiron, they both grow into young men skilled in the art of war. But as the war calls and Helen of Sparta's abduction triggers a violent clash, they march to Troy where their friendship transforms into a profound love, risking the ire of gods and the fickle turns of fate. As the siege of Troy stretches on, Patroclus and Achilles confront their destiny, where glory and immortality come at a heartbreaking cost. This epic tale is a stirring exploration of love and sacrifice, a poetic tribute that reinvents Homer's classic into a compelling narrative that blends myth with palpable emotion.
