Patroklos and Hektor
Patroklos and Hektor Tragedy …..TITLE Patroklos and Hektor are victims of war and internal, delusional passion. Their deaths are intertwined, as they are both the causualties of Achilles lack of spirit or internal death. The deaths of these two men help to illistrate Homers outlook on war. These two men are like James Bond, fighting a cold war that is not their own. Like any good patriot in the days of the Iron Curtain they
had listened to Akhilleus, who asked him to retreat after pushing the Trojans back, the Akhaians would have lost the war. Was Akhilleus’ spirit crushed or renewed by the death of Patrolokos? He refused to fight in the war because Aggamemnon wronged him. Could it be that he was full of spirit until the death of his best friend? Ironically, Patroklos killed Hektor by killing the spirit, and therefore the stubborness in his best friend.
