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.
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...
评分作为一个对肛交没有兴趣的又对女人没有兴趣的男人,生活在这个世界上,大多的时候是非常bitter的。世界上的存在不是动物凶猛,就是烛影摇红。即便有的时候能被一些东西弄笑,甚至大笑,然而内心的冰冷和漠然,是如此的沉重。一直一直那么多年,行尸走肉一般。能看的书越来越少...
评分我是出版公司的编辑,个人感觉这书还是挺不错的,从出版商手上拿到样书,看了一遍以后觉得情节流畅,搅基主流,史诗宏大背景。 但我自己中意是一回事,做成书卖又是另一回事。你们说这本书翻译过来出简体中文版,有人买单吗?卖点何在? 实在有点担心那,各位给点意见呗……...

这个居然得奖了?居然得奖了?居然得奖了?!?!?!?!?!?!就是个同人而且水品也不过是同人!!!!居然得奖了?!?!?!
评分这本书描写的achilles和patroclus之间的关系,以及几个世纪后alexander-hephaestion之间的副本为我理想的恋爱关系设定了基调——philtatos互补的感情地位和平等而互补的才能。作者写得很细腻,捕捉到了史诗原著中的细微暗示和文字游戏,在这个意义上又胜过Mary Renault一筹。(耽美小说一本,这个暑假其实读了shannon的好几本,可惜豆瓣没条目,申请的话都不见得会批准。)
评分虽然有点狗血 但还是赚了我一大把眼泪 Achilles说Patroclus是他的“Philtatos". Most beloved. 人都没了你说也晚了啊我的小心肝
评分古典英雄式的同性愛其實是很動人的。最喜歡他們隱居的那段生活,Et in Arcadia ego,最美好的時光。
评分无论看过多少遍都值得再读一遍
