Topic: 617 Patroclus


  
 [No title]
Note the two similes comparing Patroclus' tears to a "shaded mountain spring" and the weeping Patroclus to a "small girlchild who runs beside her mother." The first illustrates the extent of Patroclus' sorrow, and the second foreshadows the childish insistence in Patroclus' upcoming request.
Patroclus' slaughter of Sarpedon, a Lycian hero and a son of Zeus, begins a chain of deaths and melee around heroes' bodies that culminates with Hector's death in Book 22.
That is, Patroclus kills Sarpedon, and the Greeks strip his armor from his body, which was both an insult and a way of preventing others from reusing the armor.

 The Mourner's Song: War and Remembrance from the Iliad to Vietnam by James Tatum, an excerpt
The "unmaking" of the human being, the emptying of the nation from his body, is equally characteristic of dying or being wounded, for the in part naturally "given" and in part "made" body is deconstructed.
As if he were hearing the poet along with us, Patroclus picks up on the image of the graceful death-leap of Kebriones and turns it into battle poetry, on the spot.
Patroclus hears the poetry we hear: the simile of the fisherman Thestor, hundreds of lines before (16.406-8).

 Hesiod, Homeric Hymns, and Homerica by Hesiod
The "Titanomachy", ascribed both to Eumelus of Corinth and to Arctinus of Miletus, began with a kind of Theogony which told of the union of Heaven and Earth and of their offspring the Cyclopes and the Hundred-handed Giants.
How the poem proceeded we have no means of knowing, but we may suppose that in character it was not unlike the short account of the Titan War found in the Hesiodic "Theogony" (617 ff.).
As M.M. Croiset remark, the abusive Thersites in the "Aethiopis" is clearly copied from the Thersites of the "Iliad"; in the same poem Antilochus, slain by Memnon and avenged by Achilles, is obviously modelled on Patroclus.

He was hit by an arrow from Paris (see planet (3317)) but was rescued by Patroclus (see planet(617)).
However, after his friend Patroclus (see planet (617)) was killed by Hektor (see planet (624)), Achilles resumed fighting and killed Hektor.
The epic ends with the funeral of Patroclus.

 SPA News Circulars - No. 222
Imaging the Trojan asteroid 617 Patroclus with the 8.1 metre Gemini North telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii, William Merline (Southwest Research Institute) and his colleagues discovered that the asteroid is actually a pair of bodies 105km and 95km in diameter.
Trojan asteroids follow Jupiter around the Sun in a 1:1 orbital resonance, and many have accumulated near the gravitationally stable Lagrangian points 60° ahead of and behind the planet along its orbit.
Patroclus has probably been a binary since the early history of the Solar System, having formed from a glancing blow during accretion.

 [No title]
Similarly, at the opening of Book 16 of The Iliad, Achilles assumes from Patroclus' copious tears that he's learned of his father's death, but in the end the lamentation will turn out to be not for a dead father but a dead son, when Patroclus himself dies at the end of Book 16.
Vergil underscores Daedalus' role in the myth by crediting him, not Ariadne as was traditional in classical myth, with the invention of the thread-trick which resolved the riddle of the Labyrinth.
Like Patroclus who dies wearing Achilles' armor, Misenus serves as a symbolic surrogate for Aeneas, his death allowing the hero to enter the underworld without actually dying.

 Asteroid Inroduction
Within a year August Kopff had discovered two more: 617 Patroclus, located near the following Lagrangian point, and 624 Hector near the preceding Lagrangian point.
It was later decided to name such asteroids after the participants in the Trojan War as given in the Iliad and, furthermore, to name those near the preceding point after Greek warriors and those near the following point after Trojan warriors.
With the exception of the two previously named "spies" (Hector, the lone Trojan in the Greek camp, and Patroclus, the lone Greek in the Trojan camp), this tradition has been maintained.

 All in the asteroid family
Since Ida is a member of the Koronis family, Dactyl's existence may be a direct result of the collision on the family's parent body.
However, it may be harder to explain the recently discovered binary asteroids that have similar-sized components: 90 Antiope, 617 Patroclus and the Kuiper Belt object 2001 QW322.
Says Richardson, "You need either a very lucky capture, which is unlikely, or mutual ejection from a large impact event, with two similar-sized pieces flying off on very similar trajectories and getting mutually captured."

Various characters who prospered after the war die by the walls of Troy.
Ages are changed, noticeably with Patroclus and less so with Aeneas.
And, speaking of Aeneas, the film extends beyond the pages of The Iliad and jumps into the opening sequences of Virgil's Aeneid (though the credits don't mention it).

 Binary asteroids - IMCCE
Depuis, les télescopes terrestres munis de l'optique adaptative ont permis de découvrir plusieurs systèmes d'astéroïdes binaires tels que (22) Kaliope, (45) Eugenia, (87) Sylvia, (90) Antiope, (617) Patroclus, (762) Pulcova ou 1999 TC36.
More recently ground-based observations with adaptive optics enabled astronomers to discover few binary systems, such as (22) Kaliope, (45) Eugenia, (87) Sylvia, (90) Antiope, (617) Patroclus, (762) Pulcova or 1999 TC36.
Below you'll find a list of some of the suspected binary asteroids with bibliographic references.

The total of known or suspected binary asteroids grew to 18 on September 22nd when William J. Merline (Southwest Research Institute) and his colleagues discovered that the Trojan asteroid 617 Patroclus is a pair of bodies nearly identical in diameter (105 and 95 kilometers).
Merline was using the 8.1-meter Gemini North telescope equipped with an adaptive-optics system.
Thus Patroclus has probably been a binary since primordial times.

 Classics in Contemporary Culture: Moons - Trojan and Otherwise   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Following Wolf's lead these asteroids were given names associated with the Iliad—in fact, those in the L4 point are named after Greek heroes of the Iliad (the "Greek node" or "Achilles group"), and those at the L5 point are named after the heroes of Troy (the "Trojan node").
However, 617 Patroclus (the asteroid) was the first discovered asteroid at the L5 point, and was named before the Greece/Troy rule was devised.
The Greek node also has one "misplaced" asteroid; 624 Hektor.
