Greece in the age of Heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia. Here he is nobody, just another unwanted boy living in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles. Achilles, 'best of all the Greeks', is everything Patroclus is not - strong, beautiful, the child of a goddess - and by all rights their paths should never cross. Yet one day, Achilles takes the shamed prince under his wing and soon their tentative companionship gives way to a steadfast friendship. As they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine, their bond blossoms into something far deeper - despite the displeasure of Achilles's mother Thetis, a cruel and deathly pale sea goddess with a hatred of mortals. Fate is never far from the heels of Achilles. When word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, the men of Greece are called upon to lay siege to Troy in her name. Seduced by the promise of a glorious destiny, Achilles joins their cause, Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows Achilles into war, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they have learned, everything they hold dear. And that, before he is ready, he will be forced to surrender his friend to the hands of Fate. Profoundly moving and breathtakingly original, this rendering of the epic Trojan War is a dazzling feat of the imagination, a devastating love story, and an almighty battle between gods and kings, peace and glory, immortal fame and the human heart.
“如果唯有死亡才能让爱情不灭,我愿以鲜血交换永不分离。”一开始勾起我阅读欲望的只是这句凄美的语句,我小时候特别爱看希腊神话故事,对阿基里斯的印象仅仅是一位在战争中被射中脚后跟的悲剧英雄,但通过米勒的小说之后我才终于理清了故事的来龙去脉。 和凝重肃穆...
评分 评分[特洛伊的城垛,巴比伦城的宫殿,安提波利斯的河水,我三次诅咒塔那托斯的名讳。] 作为一个不太严肃的读者,在看希腊罗马历史时总会臆想阿克琉斯与帕特罗克罗斯,亚历山大与赫怀斯提昂,哈德里安与安提诺乌斯的生平或许是一出结构松散的三幕悲剧,在这其中悲剧的势必、突然与毁...
评分非常悲伤,在我读完《阿基里斯之歌》的时候。 虽然结局并不是悲剧,但身为人的我,怎能领会亡魂之爱呢?那没有实体存在的两朵华贵灵魂在幽冥地府中再次相见,一个等着,一个赶赴,脑海里浮现阿基里斯和帕特洛克罗斯用透明的手臂拥抱彼此,犹如橄榄树嫩绿色枝条互相触揽,既平和...
A character can only be so smart as the author... I don't know if the author regrets publishing the book, I only know I regret reading it.
评分看到最后还是哭成狗。对话简直不要太美
评分充满美感的故事。最后几章平淡冷漠,但仍然透出掩饰不住的悲伤。
评分Tender is the night.
评分仅从耽美同人的角度评价,的确是高手作品。史诗骨骼中剥离出抒情诗的血肉,多少个段落写飞了。
