Question:

Is there a constellation of him? Because i want to make the Paris and Achilles constellations so bad.--StaleGuy22 (talk) 02:06, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

I’m sorry, but I don’t think there is. Kravk (talk) 02:47, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Achilles and Greek Philosophy Addition

The only statement in this section is about Zeno, but Plato's Hippias Minor uses Achilles to discuss the virtue of justice and the use of deceit. I recommend having a small section on how Achilles (and to a lesser extent, Odysseus) was seen as a character of moral drama and the advent of "ethics" as a philosophical subfield began with the analysis of Achilles and critiquing the definition of "the good" as it was used by Homer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WorldlyBecket (talk • contribs) 20:59, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

I agree. I'm certainly no expert on philosophy, but I've added a subsection on Hippias Minor. If you (or anyone else) can improve it, please do. Kravk (talk) 03:17, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Comment on Achilles and Patroclus' Relationship

The section on the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus was good, but I think it could use some more information about the state of the debate over the nature of their relationship in scholarship. There are a fair number of articles out there about this to draw from and I think it would make that section even better, as it is an important aspect of Achilles' character.
