"Book 17 The most gruesome book in the Iliad. The Trojans and Greeks fight over the corpse of Patroclus. The body is dragged scraped fought over. Hector wears Achilles armor, which Patroclus wore. The Trojans want his body as a symbol of victory. The Greeks do not want to allow that. Zeus is sad for the god horses of Patroclus. Achilles will soon know. This war is now about blood lust" 8 hours, 25 min ago
