This is interesting... So the trio travelled southeast, around Mordor, and ended up in Greece.

I liked the interactions between elf and humans, and the entire part with Thetis. Though if she only knows Poseidon instead of Ulmo, does that make Manwe Zeus? That's terribly strange, not least because Zeus created most myths just by having children with people he really shouldn't. Manwe seems more proper than that XD.

Very cultural, I like your story.

What an intriguing crossover. :)

You blended these worlds beautifully.

Good luck with your writer's muse!

Okay, so this story was just lovely. I liked everything-your writing style (which is sophisticated and flowing), your characterizations, which fit both canons perfectly, the seamless way you joined these two radically different worlds and made them one, the way you wrote the interactions, the little bookverse details that give your story credibility, the pacing and creativity, just EVERYTHING. This is good stuff. Definitely favorited. Thank you for sharing!

It's too bad that this story doesn't have and get more reviews. It's very wonderful and well written.

i'm so glad i found this! i love ancient greece and i never imagined a lotr and troy crossover! this is brilliant :)

Ta-da, and hooray for the final posting of the finished product! Many thanks for telling me this had been posted, and thank you also for the kind mention in your author's note. It was truly a pleasure to get an early look at this gem of a oneshot :-)

As you said, not a whole lot had really changed; but I could certainly tell that the parts you were still wrestling with had been well smoothed over. I have to say it all flowed together much more nicely after you'd gone over it some more.

I think it was really interesting that you left Achilles out and focused more on Peleus and Patroclus, the latter for which I'm very grateful ;-) It worked out extremely well that way, and I just love how you mixed in so many references to Middle Earth history and the bigger picture of things. Simply marvelous!

I also enjoyed your portrayal of Elladan and Elrohir, and your descriptions of their relationship. Particularly the mentions of their silent communications with one another, and how they sparred together. I think my favorite line was about them having "two bodies and one soul." A most concise yet poetic way to describe it, my dear!

So once again, I enjoyed this tremendously (just as much, if not more so, the second time around). Thanks for letting me land a hand, and Happy Writing to you in the future!

Your friend,
