Story Plot

Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. By all rights their paths should never cross, but Achilles takes the shamed prince as his friend, and as they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine their bond blossoms into something deeper - despite the displeasure of Achilles' mother Thetis, a cruel sea goddess. But then word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus journeys with Achilles to Troy, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.

  • hey everyone! Thank you all for adding your casting choices, The Song of Achilles is one of my favorite books and after hearing news they were planning on a potential mini-series soon, I wanted to create a MyCast for it. Please feel to reach out to me if I have added in any errors in the descriptions. If I don't add in some don't fret I should add in more soon. It's been a while since I've been on here so I apologize in advance if I poof off again ;-; I think I'll make this my project, finding all the descriptions and creating a detailed casting since this novel means a lot to me. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy and if you haven't read the book yet I highly encourage you too! All I can say is it made my cry buckets and scream "WHY" into the air for hours, but then when it was all over I felt very happy that I had read this amazing book and had heard their story.
