Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. Despite their differences, Achilles befriends the shamed prince, and as they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine, their bond blossoms into something deeper - despite the displeasure of Achilles's mother Thetis, a cruel sea goddess. But when word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, Achilles must go to war in distant Troy and fulfill his destiny. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus goes with him, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear. Review: Beautiful copy - A beautifully presented edition of a truly memorable story. The 10th Anniversary cover is stunning, elegant, eye-catching, and definitely worthy of display on a bookshelf. It feels like a special collector’s copy rather than just another paperback. The story itself is engaging and emotional, offering an interesting retelling of Greek mythology through a deeply personal perspective. The writing is lyrical and immersive, making it easy to become invested in the characters and their journey. Even if you already know the myth, the emotional depth keeps you turning the pages. A lovely edition of a powerful and moving novel, perfect for readers who enjoy mythology, romance, and character-driven storytelling. Review: Beautiful - I could have picked any of a number of adjectives to describe this book: masterful, poignant, lyrical and so many more “clever” ones to choose from. But simply beautiful sums it best: this is a perfectly balanced tale of gods, heroes, and great deeds (as we all know it from Homer), but most importantly it is a story of men (and a very few women - as “befitting” of the period) with their strengths as well as foibles, with their dreams as well as fears, in all their “glorious” humanity. But most of all, this is a story about love and grief. And any reader accepting this book as a work of fiction will be touched by the depth of emotions, whether expressed or merely suggested. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 178,054 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 27 in Historical Fiction (Books) 110 in Contemporary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 126,806 Reviews | ## Images ![The Song of Achilles - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vuhaqjCEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful copy *by K***M on 11 May 2026* A beautifully presented edition of a truly memorable story.

Other than Disney’s Hercules, this is my first taste of Greek mythology (retelling) and I’m in shambles. It’s absolutely tragic but so well written. I love the story being told from a lesser POV not a god like you’d believe it to be. I love the complexity of Achilles. And even more so Thetis - I think she’s my favourite. And of all, this book has now planted a curiosity for more retelling, as well as the original stories to go with them. ## Frequently Bought Together - Song of Achilles - Circe - The Handmaid's Tale --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/206596488-the-song-of-achilles](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/206596488-the-song-of-achilles) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
