The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller is a lyrical, deeply emotional retelling of the Iliad, told through the eyes of Patroclus as he grows from an exiled prince into the devoted companion of Achilles. As the two boys train under Chiron and their bond deepens, the looming Trojan War threatens everything they’ve built together. On the battlefield, destiny, pride, and prophecy collide, forcing both men to confront the brutal cost of glory.
