Topic: Patroklos


In the News (Wed 3 Dec 08)

  
  38. Patroklos. Rhys, Ernest, ed. 1921. The Haunters & the Haunted
there came unto him the ghost of poor Patroklos, in all things like unto the very man, in stature, and fair eyes, and voice; and he was arrayed in vesture such as in life he wore.
For all night long the soul of poor Patroklos stood beside me, crying and making lamentation, and bade me do his will; it was the perfect image of himself.”
So he spake, and in the hearts of them all roused desire for lamentation; and while they yet were mourning about the pitiful corpse appeared rosy-fingered dawn.

 CliffsNotes::The Iliad:Book Summary and Study Guide
Patroklos may be, in a sense, Achilles’; alter ego, or “second self,” but his error is in believing that he can perform as brilliantly as Achilles on the battlefield.
As Patroklos is dying, he is aware that he is a scapegoat and that it was not Hektor, but Apollo who was his “deadly destiny,” because Apollo inspired him to attack the wall even though Achilles had instructed him specifically not to do so.
Patroklos’ death thereby leads to the deaths of both Hektor and Achilles in the sense that both dishonor Greek ideals by threats and acts of desecration.

Then was Panthoos' son of the stout ashen spear not heedless of noble Patroklos as he lay, and he smote on the circle of the shield of Menelaos, but the bronze spear brake it not, but the point was bent back in the stubborn shield.
Now Hector, when he had stripped from Patroklos his noble armour, was dragging him thence that he might cut off the head from the shoulders with the keen bronze and carry his body to give to the dogs of Troy.

Patroklos led us on a four day chase through several Slavic villages and finally to the bluffs overlooking the plains of Larissa where he paused in exhaustion long enough for us to capture him.
Now, one evening shortly after apprehending Patroklos as we were staying at a small inn in a village on the edge of the mountains, word reached us of a local man who had fallen badly ill. Alicia went to attend to him, while we awaited her return.

Now Patroklos when he had cloven the nearest companies, drave them backward again to the ships, nor suffered them to approach the city, despite their desire, but between the ships, and the river, and the lofty wall, he rushed on them, and slew them, and avenged many a comrade slain.
And he fell as falls an oak, or a silver poplar, or a slim pine tree, that on the hills the shipwrights fell with whetted axes, to be timber for ship-building; even so before the horses and chariot he lay at length, moaning aloud, and clutching at the bloody dust.

Patroklos answers his summons from inside the shelter—an action marked by the editorial prolepsis and this was the beginning of evil for him (604)—and is dispatched by Akhilleus to discover the wounded man's identity.
When Patroklos finally returns to the Myrmidonian camp after this "hiatus," it is not to report the information he was initially sent out to discover—namely, the identity of the wounded fighter glimpsed by Akhilleus.
For we saw that Patroklos' innocent route from Akhilleus' ship to Nestor's encampment simultaneously crosses a border between ergonand mythos,leaving present action on the battlefield behind and passing over into a mediated world of narrative, whose contours are defined by the walls of a tent and the ritual gestures of Hospitality.
