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 Pyrrhus:

Formally named Neoptolemus, but called "Pyrrhus" for his fiery hair, he was the son of Achilles and the princess Deidameia. He joined the war after his father's death, participating in the trick of the Trojan horse, and brutally murdering the old king of Troy, Priam. In TSOA he is described as having bright red hair (the color of a fire's crust), as well as being beautiful but in a cold way. He is very similar to Achilles, only that his chin is different, "angling sharply down to a point as his mother's did."
