Achilles is the greatest weapon the Greeks have ever possessed.
To Patroclus he is just Achilles.
The glory of war, the pride of men, and the wrath of the gods spiral towards doom in a new form bending adaptation of Homer’s Iliad from Ava Pirie and Brayden Stallman. Experience the epic poetry brought to life as young love is perforated by death and destruction from both the enemy within and without.
At the edge of the world and the end of it all, sing of the rage of Achilles.
