Homer\u2019s description of the moment Patroclus dies is exquisitely poignant, argues Christina Errico, and\u00a0Homer\u2019s unusually familiar treatment of Patroclus leads the listener to form an emotional connection with him. Homer, Iliad 16.843-863, discussed, translated, and read in Greek by Christina Errico.<\/p>\n

You answered him feebly, horseman Patroclus:
\n\u201cYou boast loudly now, Hector, for Zeus the son of Cronus and Apollo gave the victory to you;
\nThey overpowered me easily; for they themselves took the armor from my shoulders.
\nEven if twenty such as you met me,
\nthey all would have been destroyed, overpowered by my spear.
\nBut deadly fate and the son of Leto killed me,
\nand of men, Euphorbus; but you come third in line to strip off my armor.
\nBut I will tell you another thing, and you take it to heart:
\nsurely you yourself will not live long, but already
\ndeath and strong fate loom over you,
\nready to beat you down by the hands of brilliant Achilles, son of Aeacus.\u201d
\nAnd so, as he was speaking in this way, the end of death came over him;
\nhis soul, having flown from his limbs, went to Hades
\nmourning his fate, leaving behind his manliness and youth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
