Song of achilles The Short Version: The story of Achilles, as told from the perspective of his friend and lover, Patroclus. Recommend: The Song Of Achilles. The Song of Achilles is Madeline Miller's sweeping and romantic Trojan war epic recounted through the eyes of enigmatic Patroclus, Achilles's beloved companion. The Song of Achilles is a sort of retelling of The Iliad from the point of view of Patroclus, an exiled prince and the lover and companion of Achilles, the “Best of the Greeks”. Ancient Greece is probably my favourite time period.
