[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! I’m reading The Song of [name_m]Achilles[/name_m] (great book so far) and there have been so many mentions of Greek names and I’ve become obsessed. Drop some Greek names below
I’m currently reading another book about the Trojan War called a Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes which takes a look at the forgotten and silenced women of the war on both sides and their stories! Maybe you’d like that
I haven’t read Song of [name_m]Achilles[/name_m] but did read [name_f]Circe[/name_f] by the same author, which is just beautiful and made the name really shine for me.
At the moment my favourite Greek name is [name_f]Amarantha[/name_f]. Ttc #2 and it is top of our girl short list.
