* ExtremelyLengthyCreation: Madeline Miller said that this book took ''ten years'' to write, starting from 2001. Luckily this trope was averted or downplayed with the creation of ''Literature/{{Circe}}'', which took seven years instead.

* NewbieBoom: The novel was published in 2011 to critical acclaim, but it gained a large number of new fans in TheNewTwenties, which many theorize was due to the release of ''VideoGame/{{Hades}}'' (which also depicts Achilles and Patroclus in an explicitly romantic relationship). This resulted in the book making the New York Times bestseller list in 2021, ten years after it was first published.
