	Patroclus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When Achilles refused to fight because of his feud with Agamemnon, Patroclus donned his armor, led the Myrmidons and killed many Trojans, including Sarpedon (a son of Zeus), and Cebriones (the chariot driver of Hector).
		He was killed by Hector and Euphorbos, with help from Apollo.
		After retrieving his body, which had been protected on the field by Menelaus and Telamonian Aias, Achilles returned to battle and avenged his friend's and/or lover's death by killing Hector and desecrated his body behind his chariot instead of allowing the Trojans to honorably dispose of it by burning it.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Metempsychosis
		According to tradition, it had been taught by Musaeus and Orpheus, and it was an element of the Orphic and other mystic doctrines.
		The introduction of metempsychosis as a philosophical doctrine is due to Pythagoras, who, we are told, gave himself out as identical with the Trojan hero Euphorbos, and added copious details of his subsequent soul-wanderings.
		Vegetarianism and a general regard for animals was the practical Pythagorean deduction from the doctrine.

		Stupefied, he is speared in the back by Euphorbos, and there's little left for Hektor to do but finish him off.
		In a few lines Euphorbos is brought before us and taken away, but because of Homer's detailed descriptions and simile, his death is extremely touching.
		Though Euphorbos had a hand in the killing of Patroklos, his youth and beauty are mourned in passing by the poet.

	Who Killed Patroklos? Expressing the Inexpressible (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Apollo is a god (1), Euphorbos' name can be directly correlated, etymologically and phonologically, with phorbe, used in the Iliad only of fodder (4) for horses and asses, and Hektor is presented by Patroklos as merely the implement (2) which struck the coup de grace.
		This correlates well with the fact that Achilleus himself is later associated with the epithet "man-slaying", as at Iliad 18.317, his hands, as he lays them on Patroklos' corpse, are described as "man-slaying".
		One can also hear a sequence which starts with Achilleus - "unspeakable" as this may seem - in 16.849-850, as Euphorbos is described as one among mortals, with Hektor being third; if the sequence is just mortals, it cannot be Apollo who stands in first place behind Euphorbos.

		Instead of two warriors fighting over a body we can be sure that we are looking at Menelaos and Hektor fighting over the body of Euphorbos, as found on a famous Rhodian plate of the late seventh century, a picture that makes an impressive and appropriate cover for the book.
		Snodgrass, however, observing various discrepancies between the painting and the poem, suggests that the painting is a representation of an Argive version of the encounter in which Menelaos does successfully strip the corpse.
		Evidence for this tradition can be found in the shield of Euphorbos in Hera's sanctuary near Argos, supposedly dedicated by Menelaos himself.

		Meanwhile hath warlike Menelaos Atreus' son stridden over Patroklos and slain the best of the Trojans there, even Panthoos' son Euphorbos, and hath stayed him in his impetuous might."
		Thus saying the god went back into the strife of men, but dire grief darkened Hectors inmost soul, and then he gazed searchingly along the lines, and straightway was aware of the one man stripping off the noble arms, and the other lying on the earth; and blood was flowing about the gaping wound.
