Description If you follow me you know how fond I am of series, alas I am in a Greek state of mind once more, so I will be giving you some more mythology art. Starting with some Greek Mythology couples. We shall begin with a may or may not be couple Achilles and Patroclus.
There is a debate between people who think they were lovers and others who say nay. The one thing they all agree about was how much Achilles loved Patroclus. He even went into a war he had said he would not joined to avenge Patroclus' death. After agonizingly grieving on top of Patroclus body he goes into the Trojan war to kill Hector, Patroclus ' killer. In the end he does kill Hector, dragging his ass behind his chariot by the heels. Apropos right?
In any case I definitively ship these two.

Image was based on depiction of Achilles tending Patroclus wounded arm on a vase from 500BC.

Isn't Achilles a blond?

He is depicted with different color hair depending on the artist. In the Illiad he is said to have golden hair, but this is how I pictured it for this particular piece. Art is a feeling to me so I go with it for the most part. Hope you liked it either way.
