Bold textPatoclus

Patroclus was Achilles dearest friend who accompanied him in the Trojan War. Achilles had withdrawn his troops, the Mymidons because of a disagreement between Agamemnon, the Greek commander. Patroclus persuaded Achilles to allow him to go to war in his stead. In Achilles armor, Patroclus led the Greek troops to victory. Hector, the commander of the Trojans, slew Patroclus. Achilles avenged his friend’s death by killing Hector.
