Iliad Assignment

For this part of The Iliad, we read when Patroclus dies. This part started when Patroclus is taking out Hectors Charioteer. Then Patroclus starts to charge at Hector, but then, out of nowhere Apollo attacks. Patroclus is left lying on the ground, fighting for his life. Then, he gets a spear thrown through his back, Hector, being dishonorable, attacks and kills Patroclus. But before he dies, he says that Achilles is going to kill him, he tells him that his death is near.

Well, like I said before, Patroclus said that Achilles is going to kill Hector, so I know he is going to die. Achilles is going to be outraged, his love for Patroclus and wanting for revenge cancels his hate for Agamemnon. He loves Patroblus more than he hates Agamemnon.
