Rick RiordanI couldn't believe I'd come this far, lost Tyson, suffered through so much, only to fail - stopped by a big stupid monster in a baby-blue tuxedo kilt. Nobody was going to swat down my friends like that! I mean...nobody, not Nobody. Ah, you know what I mean.
About This Quote
We all know the story of the Greek hero Achilles. He was a great warrior, a skilled swordsman and a brilliant leader. He even had a friend named Patroclus who he was very close to. However, Achilles was not immortal and eventually came to a point where he was going to die from an unbearable wound that would kill him.
He asked his friend for this favor: Patroclus's body would be cremated and his ashes scattered in the sea. In return, Achilles would give his own life so that Patroclus could have a proper funeral ceremony. The gods made this choice for Patroclus from the outset, but Achilles insisted on being the one who would die in place of his friend.
