Said softly refers to the tone of the speaker, as in the emotions present when speaking.

Whispered refers to the volume of what’s being said, as in how quiet or loud the words are said.

Yes, there is a difference, a somewhat significant one at that.

I know adverbs are controversial, but "said softly" means something different than "whispered" and this is the hill I will die on.

Waiter: *(nearly in tears)* PLEASE JUST SAY STOP- ITS A SINGLE SYLLABLE

Tim’s angel on his shoulder: Thou shall not yield.

Nightwing: COME HOME!!!

HAHAHA-

Odysseus: *gently hands Athena baby Telemachus*

Athena: …you were PREGNANT AND YOU DIDNT TELL ME?!

Odysseus: what?- no-

Athena: DO YOU KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THAT IS?! I WAS TRAINING YOU!

Odysseus: no I wasn’t the one-

Athena: THAT POOR BOY WAS PROBABLY SO SQUISHED IN YOUR HELMET! LOOK AT HOW SMALL HE IS!!

I always pictured Athena watching the events of The Odyssey as they happened to keep tabs on what her ex is doing but it's much funnier to know that she left him on read for 10 years and then came back to a text thread so insane that she immediately had to go fight her dad.
