Something that’s so interesting to me is how deeply everyone mourns Patroclus, not just Achilles. Everyone feels his loss and cries over his death. And he wasn’t a great warrior, he didn’t get glory in battle. They just mourn him because he was kind and gentle. The greatest warriors of Greece mourn someone not for being a warrior but just for being kind.

something so striking is the equal amount of care that the story gives to both sides. most of the culture or content around the iliad focuses on the greek side but the story lists all the trojan commanders along with the greek, it tells us the names of who died on both sides, and it also points out that these men are also dying away from home, and want to go back to their loved ones
