Canto XV, verses 390-405
"While Achaeans and Trojans were fighting about the wall, away from the ships, remained in the tent Patroclus Bravo Eurypylus, entertaining him with his conversation and spreading herbs over his wound serious drugs that alleviated his pain. But, seeing that the Trojans attacked the wall with a vengeance and clamoring and leakage between the Achaeans, groaned, and, down the arms, beat his thighs, he sighed and said:
PATROCLUS. - Full length! I can not go here, if you need me, because he has fought a great battle. Squire take care of you, and I hurried back to the tent of Achilles to induce him to fight. Who know if with the help of some god persuade him A man does the advice of a friend. "
The Trojans have come to the ships of the Greeks and will attack them. Patroclus is still in the shop full length and said that "incite Achilles to fight." After two verses repeated Nestor had said earlier. Makes his Patroclus.
After that Patroclus leaves the shop and goes in search of Achilles.
Canto XVI, verses 1-46
"This ship fought for many banks. Achilles Patroclus appeared, pastor of men, shedding hot tears pouring source deep dark waters of sheer rock. As soon as he saw Achilles, light-footed, had compassion on him and said, Aeneas
ACHILLES .- Why are you crying, Patroclus, like a child that goes with your mother and wanting to take it in his arms, pulling the dress, although it stops in a hurry, and looks at her with tearful eyes to be lifted off the ground? Like her, O Patroclus, tender tears spill. Are you coming to join something the Myrmidons or to myself? Did you hear any news yourself Phthia? Menecio say, the son of actors, there still; Eácida also lives among the Myrmidons Peleus, and the death of that or what more he might afflict us. Or perhaps weeping because the Argives perish, near the ships, for the injustice committed? Speaking, I do not hide what you think, for we both know.
drew a deep sigh, and answered, knight Patroclus:
PATROCLUS. - Oh Achilles son of Peleus, the bravest of Achaean Do not fret, because it is so large that the overwhelming grief. Those who once were the strongest, hurt each other near and far, lie in the ships, was wounded with a weapon the mighty Diomed, with the pike Ulysses, famous for his spear, and Agamemnon, at full length in flecháronle thigh, and doctors who know a lot of drugs, ocúpanse in wounds heal them. You, Achilles, are ruthless. Never take hold of me as you keep grudges! Oh you who so badly employ the value! Who can be useful later if not now save the Argives undignified death? Ruthless! It was not your father Peleus rider, or your mother Thetis, the glaucous sea and the cliffs must have engendrarte, because your spirit is cruel. If you left off fighting for a prediction that your honored mother, aware of Zeus, you have revealed, send me to the other Myrmidons, for if I become the dawn of the salvation of the Achaeans, and allows to cover my shoulders with armor for the Trojans confuse me with you and cease fighting, the warring Dana are so beaten down and not wake up the battle may, albeit briefly. Us that we are not exhausted by fatigue, easily reject it ships and stores to the city to those men who are tired of fighting. "
get very excited at the tent of Achilles to convince her to return to battle. Patroclus comes crying (moved), and Achilles worry about it. Patroclus repeats what was said by Nestor and Achilles then repressed. Called ruthless and goes with him. Keep repeating what was said by Nestor and even repeats the idea that Nestor had: he let his men and armor.
Canto XVI, lines 46-100: Response to Achilles Nestor plan
"So I begged the very foolish, and thus called the terrible Death and the Grim Reaper. Achilles, light-footed, he answered very indignant
ACHILLES .- Alas, Patroclus, a descendant of Zeus, what you said! I refrain from any prediction that you know and his mother were not told me anything from Zeus, but I pressed the heart and soul when a man because he has more power, want to deprive her just what belongs and takes the reward. Such is the great regret I have, because of the difficulties that my mind has suffered. The girl claimed that the Achaeans as a reward and I had conquered my sword, taking a sack the city, King Agamemnon son of Atreus me took it as if I was a vagrant. But so be it, you can not always keep the anger in his heart, but had decided not to lay down the anger until the screaming and fighting to reach my ships. Cover your shoulders with my armor, get in front of the warlike Myrmidons and bring them to the fight, since dark cloud of Trojans and the ships about momentum, and the Argives, penned in by the sea, have only a short space. The entire city of Troy has appeared with confidence, because they see my shiny helmet. Soon flee the trenches filled with dead, if the king Agamemnon was just me, but now fighting about our military. And Diomed hand not wielding his spear furiously to rid the Danaan of death, nor have I heard a cry that came from the hated head of Agamemnon: only echo the voice of Hector, killer of men, encouraging Trojans , which fill the whole plain shouting and defeat in the battle to the Achaeans. But you, Patroclus, lean brashly upon them and the ships that plague lest hitting the ships fire it, away from us to return. Do whatever I'll tell you, that gives me great honor to all the Achaeans, and they give me back the very beautiful young lady and make me rich gifts. As soon as the move away from the ships, come back again and although the thundering husband of Hera give you glory, not without me want to fight against the warlike Trojans, for help to my shame. And there, spurred by the war and battle, leads you, killing enemies, Troy, lest any of the Olympian gods have lower because the Trojans fond Apollo, which hurts far. Recedes as soon as you have done to shine the light of salvation in the ships, and let it continue fighting on the plain. Hopefully, father Zeus, Athena, Apollo, none of the Trojans and the Argives escape from death, and we get rid of it two of us, so we can tear down the sacred battlements of Troy. "
censor insists Agamemnon's abusive behavior. Patroclus tells you can get his armor and takes the Myrmidons. But he, Achilles, still in their heels and will not go into battle. There is a concession, Achilles will not because that would ignore the offense of Agamemnon. However, orders his men encouraging them to get fully involved. Is not indifferent to what is happening.
Achilles also give some advice to Patroclus (from verse 85). He said that as the Trojans back off let them go, not persecute them.
Canto XVI, lines 200-211
"ACHILLES. - Myrmidons! None of you forget the threats that the ships dirigíais the Trojans the days of my anger, and accusations that all incriminate me, "Inflexible son of Peleus! No doubt your mother fed with gall. Ruthless, they hold fast to your companions in the ships against their will! Embark on ships of the ponto furrow and return to the motherland, as the deadly cholera nested in such a way in your heart. "So when I used to speak reuníais. As the light have the great feats of arms that you both wanted. And now each courageous fight with heart against the Trojans. "
Achilles encouraged his men, they remember what they have said against Achilles and what they have shouted to the Trojans as they watched the match. The anger is gone and compassion has earned everything that field.
In the following verses
Patroclus, intoxicated by victory, will ignore the advice of Achilles and that will lead to death. If the match is favorable, there is a destructive inertia that the hero can not stop. Patroclus is not at all an impulsive character, but can not control this trend. Once in the battle Patroclus blinded by the visible victory, as had happened before Hector.
The difference between offensive and defensive war war there. The logic of war, especially if it is a logical winner, leads to a spiral of violence. This spiral of violence does not end with the death of Patroclus as Achilles returns to battle to avenge him (if for no other reason).
Achilles IX In the song into question the claimed heroic death and life. Even death to all. After the death of Patroclus change that consideration of the death to life itself. What will be at the center now will be what affects one's own life death of a loved one. Think of death from the perspective of life.
There are thus two positions:
"Death as the end of life of its own, impervious to the death of others.
"Death of a loved one where you live. Makes the individual sensitive to pain than people can receive after the death of a loved one. (This will enable the Achilles last song I cried with Priam, are recognized as people who suffer the death of a loved one, something that is more profound criticism of Homer in all of Belize).
Canto XVI, lines 433-462
"ZEUS .- Alas! The skinny provides that Sarpedon, whom I love above all men, is killed by Patroclus Menoetius. Vacillates between two purposes in my chest the heart: to catch him live in the mourning war, to take him to the fertile land of Lycia or let him now fall into the hands of Menoetius?
Hera answered Priam, the eye of heifer:
HERA. - Terribilísimo son of Kronos, what talking about? "Once again want to get rid of the dreadful death to mortal man, whom fate has long been condemned to die? Do it, but not all the gods will approve it. Another thing I will tell you, and lay in memory: He thinks that if you send Sarpedon safely to his palace, some other god want to get her son out of battle, as many sons of gods fighting round the big city Priam, and his parents will do every one jealous. But if you are fond of her compassion and your heart, let it die at the hands of Patroclus Menoetius in fierce combat, and when the soul and life leaving him, send Death and sweet dream to take you to the vast Licia so that his brothers and friends and we do erect a memorial mound and pillar, such are the honors due the dead.
So said. The father of gods and men assented, and made a land fall on the bloody drops to honor the beloved son, whom Patroclus was about to kill in the fertile Troy, far from their homeland. "
The gods have no power to save an individual death, because if the gods intervene to save the life of someone, break the man-gods and the gods would want to intervene to save his proteges. I read the book Hera to Zeus. Neither Zeus can save lives indiscriminately.
Patroclus rides over the Trojans and Hector, led by Zeus, will flee for refuge. In the death of Patroclus himself to intervene Apollo, which encourages Hector to continue fighting.
Canto XVI, lines 692-745
"What was the first and who last killed, O Patroclus, when the gods called to death?
were first Adrastus, Autonoe, Equeclo, Perim Mégada, Epístor and Melanippus, and then Elas Mulius and Pylartes. He killed them, and the others fled.
then the Achaeans would have taken Troy, the lofty gates of the hands of Patroclus, who ran with great fury spear, if Apollo had not been placed in the well-built tower for damage to it and help the Trojans. Thrice did Patroclus charge at an angle of the high wall, and thrice did Apollo, shaking hands with the bright immortal shield. And when, like a god, he attacked a fourth time, the deity increpóle terribly with winged words:
APOLO .- Retire, Patroclus the lineage of Zeus! Fate has ordained that the city of the proud Trojans from being destroyed by your spear, or by Achilles, who both leads you.
So he spoke, and Patroclus fell a long way, so as not to incur the wrath of Apollo, which strikes from afar.
Hector was with the carriage and the horses from the gates Scaean, and was undecided whether to lead them back to the mob and go on fighting, or voices to send troops take refuge in the wall . While pondering this, presentósele Phoebus Apollo, who took the figure of the brave young Asio, who was the maternal uncle of Hector, tamer of horses, brother of Hecuba's son Dymas, and dwelt in Phrygia, near the current Sangarius. Thus transformed, "said Apollo, son of Zeus:
APOLO. - Hector Why you left off fighting? You must not. I wish you both bravely overcome, how I am inferior, then I would withdraw from the fateful battle. But come, guide the horses of hard helmets towards Patroclus, if you can kill him and give glory to Apollo.
In saying this, God turned into battle. But Hector sent Cebríones that stung the horses and go to the fight, and Apollo, entering through the crowd, raised among the Argives deadly turmoil and gave glory to Hector and the Trojans. Hector let the other Achaeans, and it was not to kill them, and straightened Patroclus drives horses hooves. Patroclus, in turn, sprang from his chariot to the ground with the spear on the left, took with his right hand a white stone and bristling with tips that filled his hand, and to lie in the ground, threw it, wounding a combatant then because the shot did not go vain given the sharp stone in front of Cebríones, charioteer of Hector, who was the bastard son of the famous Priam, and then ruled the reins of the horses. The stone was both eyebrows, the bone does not resist, his eyes fell in the dust at the feet of Cebríones, and this, as if it were a diver, the seat fell well built, because the life went of its members. And making fun of him, O knight Patroclus, exclaiming
PATROCLUS .- Oh gods! Very agile is the man! How easily jump to the diver! If he were in the ponto, abundant fish, that man would jump ship, although the sea was stormy, and could have fed many people with oysters fished. With so easily have given the truck to flip the plain! No doubt the Trojans also are divers. "
Patroclus over the line, crosses the boundary according to the convention. Once you kill the other end the fighting, there is no further persecution. The fighting has limits. Patroclus goes from cruel to laugh at his victim. It is the most infamous villainy. Above is a cruel death. In war, the heroic glory infamous villainy is only a step. This is a picture of a very unheroic hero. Then there will be a fierce battle around the body. This is because it has killed you deprive him of the funeral by subtracting the body. No funeral, no glory. Patroclus is moving to deny the victim his "eternal life" (his everlasting glory.)
Canto XVI, lines 751-765
"In saying this, ran to the hero with the impetuosity of a lion that while attacking the stables until he is shot in the chest and killed him the same value, of Similarly, O Patroclus, I threw on Cebríones inflamed. Hector, meanwhile, jumped from the car to the ground without giving up arms. And they two battled around Cebríones like two hungry lions at the top of a hill furious fight for the body of a deer, and the two mighty warriors, Patroclus and Hector Menoetius, wanted to hurt each other with the pitiless bronze . Hector had taken the him by the head and not let go, Patroclus kept fast hold of his foot, and the other Trojans and Achaeans fierce fight raged. "
The body becomes the "prey" by Patroclus and Hector fighting, the two heroes as less violent attitude. Vanish those "heroic deeds", it occupies all violence in war and do not have any control. The heroes are described as lions, ie animals. From here on out every time a hero to behave like a beast pass this. The heroes pass bestiality when baited with dead bodies fallen enemies.
Canto XVI, lines 830-843
"HECTOR .- Patroclus! We certainly hope to destroy our city, make captive Trojan women and take them on the ships to your own land. Fool Hector's fleet horses flying into battle to defend them and I, who manage the pike excel amongst the warlike Trojans, apart from my day of slavery, while the vultures will eat you. Ah, unhappy! Or Achilles, to be brave, you have helped. When you left the ships, where he has been, must make many recommendations, and talk in this way: "Do not come back to the ships, knight Patroclus, before breaking the shell that surrounds the chest of Hector, killer of men, tainted blood." So I said, no doubt, and thou, O fool, you left to persuade. "
Hector kills Patroclus. Before I die Hector says he has left to persuade by Achilles, but Achilles really would advise the opposite. They also highlight the image of Achilles. Hector is the image of "old" Achilles. Here it is stressed that Achilles is prudent now, against the image people have of him. Now it is prudent because it values \u200b\u200blife. Death of Patroclus you will feel tremendous pain Achilles, who no longer want to live, want to die.
Hector Patroclus also laughs when he has fallen, as he did before and how will Achilles after the corpse of Hector. Warlike action does not stop when the enemy falls, it should be. There is a relentlessness to the bodies. The worst thing for it is not receiving funeral rites, and Hector tells Patroclus to be fed to the vultures, that is, you do not have funeral.
Hector will prime the body of Patroclus, is something that is never shown in the heroic epic but really happens in war. It is a dehumanization of the heroes because of the violence of war.
