armour   and   the   horses   of   the   terrible Achilles�察  �and   thought   that   he   had 

returned to the war。         Then each Trojan looked round to see by what way 

he could escape�察�and when men do that in battle they soon run by the way 

they have chosen。          Patroclus rushed to the ship of Protesilaus�察�and slew 

the leader of the Trojans there�察�and drove them out�察�and quenched the fire�察�

while   they   of   Troy   drew   back   from   the   ships�察  �and   Aias   and   the   other 

unwounded   Greek   princes   leaped   among   them�察  �smiting   with   sword   and 

spear。 Well did Hector know that the break in the battle had come again�察�

but   even   so   he   stood�察  �and   did   what   he   might�察  �while   the   Trojans   were 

driven back in disorder across the ditch�察�where the poles of many chariots 

were broken and the horses fled loose across the plain。 

     The   horses   of   Achilles   cleared   the   ditch�察  �and   Patroclus   drove   them 

between the Trojans and the wall of their own town�察�slaying many men�察�

and�察  �chief   of   all�察  �Sarpedon�察  �king   of   the   Lycians�察  �and   round   the   body   of 

Sarpedon the Trojans rallied under Hector�察�and the fight swayed this way 

and that�察�and there was such a noise of spears and swords smiting shields 

and   helmets   as   when   many   woodcutters   fell   trees   in   a   glen   of   the   hills。 

At last the Trojans gave way�察�and the Greeks stripped the armour from the 

body   of   brave   Sarpedon�察  �but   men   say   that   Sleep   and   Death�察  �like   two 

winged angels�察�bore his body away to his own country。                         Now Patroclus 

forgot how Achilles had told him not to pursue the Trojans across the plain�察�

but   to   return   when   he   had   driven   them   from   the   ships。       On   he   raced�察�

slaying   as   he   went�察  �even   till   he   reached   the   foot   of   the   wall   of   Troy。 

Thrice he tried to climb it�察�but thrice he fell back。 

     Hector was in his chariot in the gateway�察�and he bade his squire lash 

his   horses   into   the   war�察  �and   struck   at   no   other   man�察  �great   or   small�察  �but 

drove   straight   against   Patroclus�察  �who   stood   and   threw   a   heavy   stone   at 

Hector�察�which missed him�察�but killed his charioteer。 Then Patroclus leaped

on   the   charioteer   to   strip   his   armour�察  �but   Hector   stood   over   the   body�察�

grasping it by the head�察�while Patroclus dragged at the feet�察�and spears and 

arrows flew in clouds around the fallen man。                 At last�察�towards sunset�察�the 

Greeks   drew   him   out   of   the   war�察  �and   Patroclus   thrice   charged   into   the 

thick of the Trojans。        But the helmet of Achilles was loosened in the fight�察�

and fell from the head of Patroclus�察�and he was wounded from behind�察�and 

Hector�察  �in   front�察  �drove  his   spear   clean   through   his   body。     With   his   last 

breath     Patroclus    prophesied�此      �Death      stands    near   thee�察  �Hector�察   �at  the 

hands   of   noble   Achilles。;      But   Automedon   was   driving   back   the   swift 

horses�察�carrying to Achilles the news that his dearest friend was slain。 

     After Ulysses was wounded�察�early in this great battle�察�he was not able 

to fight for several days�察�and�察�as the story is about Ulysses�察�we must tell 

quite   shortly   how   Achilles   returned   to   the   war   to   take   vengeance         for 

Patroclus�察�and how he slew Hector。                When Patroclus fell�察�Hector seized 

the   armour   which   the   Gods   had   given   to   Peleus�察  �and   Peleus   to   his   son 

Achilles�察�while Achilles had lent it to Patroclus that he might terrify the 

Trojans。      Retiring out of reach of spears�察�Hector took off his own armour 

and put on that of Achilles�察�and Greeks and Trojans fought for the dead 

body of Patroclus。         Then Zeus�察�the chief of the Gods�察�looked down and 

said   that   Hector   should   never   come   home   out   of   the   battle   to   his   wife�察�

Andromache。          But     Hector     returned     into   the   fight   around     the   dead 

Patroclus�察�and here all the best men fought�察�and even Automedon�察�who had 

been driving the chariot of Patroclus。              Now when the Trojans seemed to 

have the better of the fight�察�the Greeks sent Antilochus�察�a son of old Nestor�察�

to tell Achilles that his friend was slain�察�and Antilochus ran�察�and Aias and 

his   brother   protected   the   Greeks   who   were   trying   to   carry   the   body   of 

Patroclus back to the ships。 

     Swiftly     Antilochus      came    running     to  Achilles�察    �saying�此    �Fallen      is 

Patroclus�察�and they are fighting round his naked body�察�for Hector has his 

armour。;      Then Achilles said never a word�察�but fell on the floor of his hut�察�

and threw black ashes on his yellow hair�察�till Antilochus seized his hands�察�

fearing that he would cut his own throat with his dagger�察�for very sorrow。 

His mother�察�Thetis�察�arose from the sea to comfort him�察�but he said that he 

desired to die if he could not slay Hector�察�who had slain his friend。                    Then

Thetis told him that he   could not fight without   armour�察�and now he   had 

none�察�but she would go to the God of armour´making and bring from him 

such a shield and helmet and breastplate as had never been seen by men。 

     Meanwhile   the   fight   raged   round   the   dead   body   of   Patroclus�察  �which 

was   defiled   with   blood  and dust�察 �near the  ships�察 �and   was being   dragged 

this   way  and   that�察 �and torn   and   wounded。        Achilles   could   not   bear   this 

sight�察  �yet   his   mother   had   warned   him   not   to   enter   without   armour   the 

battle   where   stones   and   arrows   and   spears   were   flying   like   hail�察  �and   he 

was so tall and broad that he could put on the arms of no other man。                       So 

he went down to the ditch as he was�察�unarmed�察�and as he stood high above 

it�察�against the red sunset�察�fire seemed to flow from his golden hair like the 

beacon blaze that soars into the dark sky when an island town is attacked 

at night�察 �and   men   light beacons   that their neighbours   may  see  them  and 

come to their help from other isles。            There Achilles stood in a splendour 

of fire�察�and he shouted aloud�察�as clear as a clarion rings when men fall on 

to   attack   a   besieged   city   wall。   Thrice   Achilles   shouted   mightily�察  �and 

thrice the horses of the Trojans shuddered for fear and turned back from 

the onslaught��and thrice the men of Troy were confounded and shaken 

with terror。     Then the Greeks drew the body of Patroclus out of the dust 

and the arrows�察�and laid him on a bier�察�and Achilles followed�察�weeping�察�for 

he had sent his friend with chariot and horses to the war�察�but home again 

he welcomed him never more。              Then the sun set and it was night。 

     Now   one   of   the   Trojans   wished   Hector   to   retire   within   the   walls   of 

Troy�察�for certainly Achilles would to´morrow be foremost in the war。                     But 

Hector   said�察   �Have   ye   not   had   your   fill   of   being   shut   up   behind   walls�拭�

Let    Achilles    fight�察 �I  will  meet    him    in  the  open    field。;   The    Trojans 

cheered�察�and they camped in the plain�察�while in the hut of Achilles women 

washed the dead body of Patroclus�察�and Achilles swore that he would slay 

Hector。 

     In the dawn came Thetis�察�bearing to Achilles the new splendid armour 

that the God had made for him。              Then Achilles put on that armour�察�and 

roused his men�察�but Ulysses�察�who knew all the rules of honour��
