On his usual representation in the media
I know Achilles tends to get offended by the whole thing, but is it terrible that I just find it funny?
Try to imagine it, the 'doe-eyed pretty-boy lover of Achilles' who was also rocking stubble and able to fit into his armor perfectly, fought like him, and had a kill score only bested by him. It's pretty hilarious. Though I did always think of my eyes as rather 'soulful' if I do say so myself... still, I think we can leave the 'pretty boy' part of that to him. But, you didn't hear it from me.
It's like they can't fathom the idea of a man that takes it and handles the domestic chores while still being, well, a man and not passing for a kouros.
Not that I can get too upset about it. Let's face it, it baffled the shit out of Homer, too.
