The Deeds and Death of Patroclos is the sixteenth book of the ancient Greek epic poem, The Iliad, written by Homer. This particular edition was translated by Henry Dunbar in 1879. The book tells the story of the Trojan War and focuses on the tragic death of Patroclos, the close friend and companion of the Greek hero Achilles. The book begins with the Greeks and Trojans preparing for battle, and Patroclos convinces Achilles to let him lead the Myrmidons into battle wearing Achilles’ armor. Patroclos is successful in pushing back the Trojans, but he is eventually killed by the Trojan prince Hector. The book ends with Achilles mourning the death of his friend and vowing revenge against Hector. The Deeds and Death of Patroclos is a classic work of literature and is considered one of the greatest epic poems of all time.With Copious Explanatory Notes And Index And A Literal Translation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
