Patroclus, companion of Achilles, older than him and raised with him as a child, seeing that Achilles' choice to withdraw from the battle is inflicting painful losses on the Greek army, begs him to wear his weapons.
Just to see them the Trojans will flee away from the Greek ships that now risk being set on fire.
Achilles grants his arms to his friend, but it is recommended that he not go further into the enemy camp.
We know that it will not be like this: Patroclus advances, carrying out a massacre, until he is confronted by Ettore, the strongest hero of the Trojan army. The duel is inevitable.
Patroclus falls to the ground pierced. Just in time, dying, to whisper to Hector that his destiny is now marked.
Achilles will avenge him.
