I remember studying Propertius with him, and the visit of the dead Cynthia, her bones grinding, the reference to the unburied Patroclus. |
|
One of her greatest challenges in writing the story was finding the right voice for Patroclus. |
|
The Trojans are routed by the sudden onslaught, and Patroclus begins his assault by killing the Trojan hero Sarpedon. |
|
Patroclus is set upon by Apollo and Euphorbos, and is finally killed by Hector. |
|
Previously existing myths, such as those of Achilles and Patroclus, also then were cast in a pederastic light. |
|
Here, Patroclus alludes to fated death by Hector's hand, and Hector's fated death by Achilles's hand. |
|
Again, the Wrath of Achilles turns the war's tide in seeking vengeance when Hector kills Patroclus. |
|
Patroclus leads the Myrmidons into battle and arrives as the Trojans set fire to the first ships. |
|
Alexander and lifelong pal Hephaistion make a lot of goo-goo eyes at each other and talk a lot about the love of warriors Achilles and Patroclus. |
|
Achilles relents and lends Patroclus his armor, but sends him off with a stern admonition not to pursue the Trojans, lest he take Achilles' glory. |
|
Trojan asteroid Hector may be a binary or a rubble pile and the density of Patroclus is similar to that of water, indicating that it also may be a rubble pile. |
