Why oh why is Patroclus not even a mere soldier during 99% of the story and now he is gallivanting towards his death, thinking he's as good as Achilles simply because he wears his armor??

Patroclus was actually a competent warrior in Iliad, if she simply kept it like this it would have made more sense that he tried to best Hector! Now he seems foolish (for like the tenth time 🙈)

Why in Earth has Miller written Patroclus like this??? 😂
He realized he would probably have to fight in the war only after he already arrived on the battlefield and not only that, he needed to hear Odysseus call every man to battle to figure it out 😂
I mean, it's a f** war, what did you expect to do, run freely in the fields and make flower crowns? 😂😂😂

It's fairly slow, but tbh I don't really mind that, I like the feeling it creates...
But...
Patroclus...? He's so unlikable to me and I can't even figure out why 🙈
