“The book is narrated by Patroclus, the son of King Menoetius. . . . After Patroclus accidentally kills the son of one of his father’s nobles, he is exiled to Phthia where he meets Achilles, the son of Phthia’s king Peleus and the sea nymph Thetis. They become close friends, and Patroclus develops feelings for Achilles. Convinced that a mortal of low status is an unsuitable companion for her son, Thetis attempts to separate the pair by sending Achilles to train under Chiron for what would become three years, though Patroclus ultimately joins Achilles in his training.”
