May as well have called him xXDeathSlayerXx666 or some other trite bullshit. What is the worst named character you have ever encountered in a book?

I'm sure "kill" and "ease" are pronounced the same in English as they were in ancient Greek

What's really crazy is that he might not have. A study came out a couple years showing that he very well may have suffered from and subsequently died due to what is known today as CTE.

>> No.11473926

actually OP is a very subtle troll because

>Achilles

comes from the ancient greek

>Ak
to attack or thrust forward

>eileos
obstruction, barricade, blockage

so Achilles literally means attacker of walls- which is fitting since he spends so long attacking Troy. it's also a subtle pun because he was a homosexual with patroclus and the translation could also be tongue in cheek (since eileos also means constipation, so akeileos phonetically is both laxative and anal breacher)

Patroclus also means "daddy's boy". So Homer was just singing gay fanfiction poems about big strong Achilles and soft twink Patroclus. Which probably makes sense why Athenians loved him so much since the upper class was creepy old men who kept young boys as sex slaves.
