Iliad Reading 3/1

1. What does Patroclus propose to Achilles and what is Achilles’ response? Why does Achilles grant Patroclus’ request?

Patroclus ask Achilles to fight. Achilles told him that he can fight but he has to wear his armor so the troyens can think its Achilles so mothing will happen to him.

2. On p. 413 line 35 (approximately), Patroclus tells Achilles that Achilles is “cursed in [his] own courage.” What does Patroclus mean by that and do you agree with him?

What Patroclus ment was that the way that Achilles is acting is thw thing to his downfall.

3. Either ask questions about the text or write down vocab words from the text with definitions.

Why does Achilles let Patroclus go to battal?
