Summary
In the eyes of my father, I had always been a disappointment, a snag in his plans, an embarrassment that could never live up to the name of Menoitius. Peleus, on the other hand, had always been kind to me, but even he had never seen me as anything more than Achilles' friend, the exile he'd taken in out of mercy.
To Chiron, though, I was always Patroclus.

Summary
“Αχιλλέας,” he says. Achilles.
I can’t help but let out a small laugh, making Achilles raise his eyebrows in question- it’s not that the name he has given me is weird, we live in Greece, I have heard way worse. “It’s just-,” I start to explain, unable to hide my smile, “με λένε Πάτροκλο.” My name is Patroclus.
It takes him a second and then he laughs as well. Neither of us probably remembers much of eighth grade Iliad, but that combination of names is not one you easily forget.

Summary
After his death, Achilles finds himself in the underworld. Prepared to face his judgement and eternity, he marches into hell, only to learn that Patroclus never arrived. He sets up vigil outside the gates, and waits.
~/~
'Where is he?’ he demanded, his voice breaking against the colossal thrones like a wooden spear against the walls of Troy. The crowd stirred over his shoulder, whispers amongst ghosts, but Achilles paid them no mind.
‘And who do you speak of?’ asked Minos, the barbs of his lashing tongue catching Achilles’s skin, tearing what little remained unmarked. He turned his attention to the last of the judges, and spoke solely to Rhadamanthus.
‘Patroclus.’

Summary
Achilles, the sun casting its last rays around his head like a halo, resplendent and aureate.
Achilles, the soles of his feet flashing pink as he sprints across the beach.
Achilles, slender fingers plucking the strings of his lyre, eyes green like fresh pressed olives. His cat's smile.
"Guess what I'm thinking about," he says.
The robin that flew over our heads but a minute past. The dream he had last night of a ship with purple sails, its prow slicing the waves of the Aegean sea. The wooden amulet that hangs about the augur's neck. This and this and this.
"I'll be the first hero to be happy," he would tell me years later. "You're the reason."
A collection of all the scenes we didn't get to see in The Song of Achilles. Follows the timeline of the book.
