Patroclos: A Noble Warrior Indeed

Patroclos is a noble comrade and warrior. Do you agree? Prove your answer by citing details from the book.

Finally Achilles' best friend Patroclos thought of an idea. He put on Achilles' famous armor and went out to fight. Both the Greeks and the Trojans thought Achilles had come back to the battle and the Greeks won a big victory, but Patroclos was killed in the fighting: he might dress like Achilles but he could not fight like him.
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.

Hector's father, King Priam, came to Achilles at night to ask for his son's body back, and Achilles gave it to him.

A short scene of Patroclos at The Iliad


Patroclos is indeed a great, noble warrior for he tried to save the Acheans from the Troy Warriors, even though his role in the story is just short, it is very significant for he tried to save thousands of lives against the Warriors of Troy. He was killed by Hector because of that he encourage the Warriors of Achaeans to fight against the Mighty Warriors of Troy.

Even though he isn't that Good as a Warrior, He is still more greater than the Warriors of Acheans because he save thousands of lives. Yeah, he should be called a Hero!
