The Song of Achilles

Detailní popis produktu

The god lightly touches his finger to the arrow's fletching. Then he gently breathes, a puff of air – as if to send dandelions flying, or to push toy boats over water. And the arrow gracefully flies, straight and silent, in a curving, downward arc towards Achilles' back.

This story takes place in Greece during the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. Despite their differences, the boys form a tender friendship that blossoms into something deeper as they grow into young men.
