Project Chapter 3: Patroclos The Noble Comrade & Warrior








Achilles' Comrade......

I agree that Patroclos is a Noble Comrade & Warrior why?
Partoclos is Noble Comrade because he Show a deep and extremely meaningful friendship, Achilles is tender towards Patroclus, while he is callous and arrogant towards others. 
Partoclos is a Noble Warrior because when Achilles was so angry that Agamemnon took Briseis from him that he refused to fight for the Greeks anymore and just sat in his tent and sulked. Without their best fighter, the Greeks started losing battles...
Patroclos thought of an idea.....Patroclus convinced Achilles to let him done Achilles' armor and lead the Myrmidons into combat. In his lust for combat, Patroclus pursued the Trojans all the way back to the gates of Troy, defying Achilles' order to break off combat once the ships were saved. Patroclus killed many Trojans and allies including the Lycian hero Sarpedon, and Cebriones . Patroclus was stunned by Apollo, wounded by Euphorbos, then finished off by Hector. At the time of his death, Patroclus had killed many enemy soldiers.....
When Achilles heard that Patroclos was dead, he was ashamed of how he had been sulking. He agreed to fight again. Now the Greeks really started to win. So the best Trojan fighter, Prince Hector, came out from Troy to fight Achilles. They fought for a long time, but finally Achilles killed Hector.
