1* ExtremelyLengthyCreation: Madeline Miller said that this book took ''ten years'' to write, starting from 2001.
2* 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.
3* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: Miller claims that she had completed a draft halfway through her writing process of this novel, but she wasn't satisfied with it and ended up deleting it and starting from scratch.
