by Madeline Miller

Story added by feyredarling on January 6, 2021

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.read more

Description of Menelaus (King of Sparta):

Brother of Agamemnon and, after his marriage to Helen, the king of Sparta. When she was kidnapped by Paris, he invoked the oath sworn by all of her suitors, and with his brother led an army to retrieve her. Originally he planned for an armistice with the Trojans (which his brother Agamemnon strongly opposed) in order to prevent further war/unnecessary suffering. In TSOA he is described to be hulking like Agamemnon, but having startling red hair (color of fire-forged bronze). He had a strong, stocky body with muscles.
