I don't understand that last scene. I finished the book and they lived forever in the forest with Chiron until the end of their lives. There were a bunch of odd, blank pages after that... but I ignored it. Don't know what they were there for.
this reminds me of the subtle soft glow of light shining through my window as i look into the loving gaze of my unfortunately cursed lovers hair, taking me away swept by the breeze, reminding me.. of love
They were together since children the same as Alexander the Great and Heohaistion you decadent barbarians. They went thru everything together, they were philophers and real men bound by the institution of friendship which was sacred in Ancient Greece. Meaningful and very powerful friendship of souls. No disgusting lie propagated on purpose by a sick barbarian author who seeks personal and financial gain, can ruin their image. Keep believing lies so you feel good about your abnormality. Keep living in your fantasy proof-less world. It’s called brotherhood, lies propagated on purpose by the system and the abnormals in order to give a fake historic depth of homosexuality in order for us to accept it today. Sick parasites. Your abnormality is your own, no amount of lies can change the truth and it hurts you and it forever will. Also gays can’t fight, gays can’t be the best warriors of all time, only men can, illogical non thinking schizophrenic clowns. Keep the holy Greeks out of your disgusting barbaric mouths. Mentally ill parasites.
@@lovingfullsun_mj4156 Oh boy there is a lot wrong with that sentence (apologies in advance): 1) it's Heracles (Or Herakles) never Hercules (we're talking about Greek mythology, unless you wanna talk Roman). 2) Heracles is Perseus' great-grandson (and also half-brother thanks to Zeus, but still a couple generations later) BUT there's no mention of them meeting ever, just brief mention that they are related, likely Perseus would have been dead by Heracles' time. 3) I think you're thinking of how perseus unknowingly and accidentally killed his grandad with a disk to the head (though the granddad had earlier locked his mother away to stop her from becoming pregnant and when that didn't work he tried to kill baby perseus and his mom, so the grandad definitely deserved it). That OR you're thinking of Perseus chopping off Medusa's head (remember in Greek mythology she was born a monster, never a sa victim cause that's roman, so Perseus still does nothing wrong) cause he was ordered to. Either way, only perseus commits head related murder (but still it's justifiable and there is no personal/emotional motivation) and Heracles never interacts with him. In short no Heracles never killed Perseus.
@@ilikedinosaurs392 apologies, I have heard it spelled as Herakles I just see Heracles used more often so I decided to use that for the spelling. Often I see Greek mythology character's names with different spellings (I don't know if it has anything to do with translation or just myth differences), such Athena and Athene, so I just use the easiest to remember ones/more common names (as long as it isn't the Roman names).
@@iliketea1427 I'm pretty sure it's because of the translation between different alphabets and also because ancient greeks probably spelled the same words a bit differently over timeperiods and different areas. No worries tho. Cool profile pic btw, but I think I've already said that somewhere else.
THE SMOOTH ANIMATION OF HAND HOLDING TO KISSING HIS HAND!! THE LAST FRAMES ARE PURE AGONY AND PAIN!! i wish to shake you by your shoulders and scream how dare you but I will, instead, wish to give you the biggest warmest hug and praise you endlessly. I appreciate you wounding my heart once again.
Just finished the Iliad, I never cried so much with the death of a character so much as Patroclus one. It hurted my soul, I could feel the pain of Achilles
reading these comments is such a welcome reminder that there are dramatic, poetic souls just like me out there longing for love in tragedies such as the song of achilles- its lovely
Perhaps him reaching for happiness like that’s the one thing he wants but at the same time is so hard to obtain? Or it could be him blotting out ‘happiness’ as a subtle foreshadow to what he chooses later and the consequence of that action.
Although, technically he covers both (with ‘happiness’ being fully blocked by his hand). Probably just showing how he is trying to achieve both and he believes it is through Patroclus.
I'm late but omg the fluidity of the animation, the expressions, the HANDS (hands are so hard to draw help) are all AMAZING! Dislikes are from people who were trying to thumbs up but couldn't see it properly because of their tears…
im sobbing crying devastated on the floor. Amazing animatic and anatomy btw the all the poses were stunning and their interactions were so tender and well done
The fact my friend recommended me this book and it’s one of the few books that actually made me fricken cry so hard… my heart has taken in so much angst from other stories and etc thats\ it’s about to shatter I swear 💀
I read that novel 5 months ago, I still feel sadness whenever I see a patrochilles animatic :( the paperback novel that i brought from barnes and nobels remains untouched because i will NOT be going through a second heart break 💔 that book seriously made me sad for like a week, and ive never been THAT sad over books.
This is so beautifully made i cant even try to lie. Both of them look so amazing the animation is amazing and most of all the creator! Is Absolutely amazing!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
*Odysseus after taking 10 years (and his entire crew) to get home after the war and getting to live the rest of his life with his wife and kid* : AM I A JOKE TO YOU?
i'm in the middle of reading it right now (not too far in, at the bit where Patroclus is at Seyros) anyway, i had no clue that quote was from the song of achilles until i read the chapter faojnobjafobajfs SOBBINGS
I never liked Greek mythology or epics until I got to college. After my sophomore year, I’m now overly attached to Achilles in particular. He’s just a relatable character, at least for me.
