On Achilles, wasn’t he told he a god / oracle that he can choose between going and having his name remembered as a hero for all time at the cost of dying young or staying home, living a happy life, and nobody remembering him after he passed in old age?
- YeGoblynQueenne 3y agoWell I don't remember that. I remember the prhophecy given to Thetis, his mom, that he was going to be killed in battle, I believe- hence her dunking him in the Styx to become invulnerable. There's a lot of mythology around the Iliad and you're probably right and I just don't remember it.
