Madeline Miller > Quotes > Quotable Quote

"Name one hero who was happy."
I considered. Heracles went mad and killed his family; Theseus lost his helpmate and begetter; Jason's children and new wife were murdered past his former; Bellerophon killed the Chimera but was crippled by the fall from Pegasus' dorsum.
"You tin't." He was sitting up now, leaning forward.
"I can't."
"I know. They never let you lot be famous AND happy." He lifted an countenance. "I'll tell you a undercover."
"Tell me." I loved information technology when he was similar this.
"I'thousand going to be the first." He took my palm and held it to his. "Swear it."
"Why me?"
"Considering you're the reason. Swear it."
"I swear it," I said, lost in the loftier color of his cheeks, the flame in his optics.
"I swear it," he echoed.
Nosotros saturday like that a moment, hands touching. He grinned.
"I feel similar I could eat the earth raw."

― Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles
