Didn't that Ron Desantis ad have Brad Pitt as Achilles in it? Do they... not know about Achilles?

[–] akintudne@reddthat.com 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No, because their knowledge of Achilles likely solely comes from that movie, where Patroclus is his "cousin."

Ah, the ol’ Sailor Moon treatment.

I will now think of Achilles and Patroclus as the Sailor Neptune and Uranus of ancient Greece. Thanks for that :)
