The Song of Achilles by Madeline MillerCall Number: PS3613.I5445 S65 2012
Publication Date: 2012
Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia to be raised in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles. Achilles is everything the shamed Patroclus is not. Yet despite their differences, the boys become steadfast companions. Built on the groundwork of the Iliad, Madeline Miller's page-turning, profoundly moving, and blisteringly paced retelling of the epic Trojan War marks the launch of a dazzling career.
