and wanted him to retreat into the town。 But Hector said�察 �One omen is the 

best�此   �to   fight   for   our   own   country。;  While   Hector   lay   between   death 

and life the Greeks were winning�察�for the Trojans had no other great chief 

to lead them。 But Hector awoke from his faint�察�and leaped to his feet and 

ran here and there�察�encouraging the men of Troy。                  Then the most of the 

Greeks fled when they saw him�察�but Aias and Idomeneus�察�and the rest of 

the   bravest�察  �formed   in   a   square   between   the   Trojans   and   the   ships�察  �and 

down on them came Hector and Aeneas and Paris�察�throwing their spears�察�

and slaying on every hand。            The Greeks turned and ran�察�and the Trojans

would   have   stopped   to   strip   the   armour   from   the   slain   men�察  �but   Hector 

cried�此     �Haste to the ships and leave the spoils of war。                  I will slay any 

man who lags behind� ─�

     On   this�察 �all   the Trojans drove  their  chariots   down   into   the ditch   that 

guarded the ships of the Greeks�察�as when a great wave sweeps at sea over 

the side of a vessel�察�and the Greeks were on the ship decks�察�thrusting with 

very   long   spears�察  �used   in   sea   fights�察  �and   the   Trojans   were   boarding   the 

ships�察�and striking with swords and axes。 Hector had a lighted torch and 

tried to set fire to the ship of Aias�察�but Aias kept him back with the long 

spear�察  �and   slew   a Trojan�察  �whose   lighted   torch   fell   from  his   hand。       And 

Aias   kept   shouting�此       �Come   on�察  �and   drive   away   Hector�察  �it   is   not   to   a 

dance that he is calling his men�察�but to battle。; 

     The dead fell in heaps�察�and the living ran over them to mount the heaps 

of   slain   and   climb   the   ships。    Hector   rushed   forward   like   a   sea   wave 

against   a   great   steep   rock�察  �but   like   the   rock   stood   the   Greeks�察  �still   the 

Trojans charged past the beaks of the foremost ships�察�while Aias�察�thrusting 

with a spear more than twenty feet long�察�leaped from deck to deck like a 

man that drives four horses abreast�察�and leaps from the back of one to the 

back   of   another。   Hector   seized   with   his   hand   the   stern   of   the   ship   of 

Protesilaus�察�the prince whom Paris shot when he leaped ashore on the day 

when the Greeks first landed�察�and Hector kept calling�此                     �Bring fire� ─�and 

even Aias�察�in this strange sea fight on land�察�left the decks and went below�察�

thrusting with his spear through the portholes。 Twelve men lay dead who 

had brought fire against the ship which Aias guarded。

       THE SLAYING AND AVENGING 

                        OF PATROCLUS 



     At   this   moment�察  �when   torches   were   blazing   round   the   ships�察  �and   all 

seemed lost�察�Patroclus came out of the hut of Eurypylus�察�whose wound he 

had been tending�察�and he saw that the Greeks were in great danger�察�and ran 

weeping to Achilles。        ;Why do you weep�察─�said Achilles�察 �like a little girl 

that   runs   by  her  mother's   side�察  �and   plucks   at   her gown   and   looks   at   her 

with tears in her eyes�察�till her mother takes her up in her arms�拭                �Is there 

bad news from home that your father is dead�察�or mine�察�or are you sorry 

that   the   Greeks   are   getting   what   they   deserve   for   their   folly�拭─ �Then 

Patroclus     told   Achilles    how     Ulysses    and    many    other    princes   were 

wounded and could not fight�察�and begged to be allowed to put on Achilles' 

armour and lead his men�察�who were all fresh and unwearied�察�into the battle�察�

for a charge of two thousand fresh warriors might turn the fortune of the 

day。 

     Then Achilles   was   sorry   that   he   had   sworn   not   to   fight   himself   till 

Hector     brought    fire  to  his  own    ships。   He     would    lend   Patroclus    his 

armour�察  �and   his   horses�察  �and   his   men�察  �but   Patroclus   must   only   drive   the 

Trojans from the ships�察�and not pursue them。                At this moment Aias was 

weary�察�so many spears smote his armour�察�and he could hardly hold up his 

great shield�察�and Hector cut off his spear´head with the sword�察�the bronze 

head   fell   ringing   on   the   ground�察  �and Aias   brandished   only   the   pointless 

shaft。    So he shrank back and fire blazed all over his ship�察�and Achilles 

saw   it�察  �and   smote   his   thigh�察  �and   bade   Patroclus   make   haste。 Patroclus 

armed himself in the shining armour of Achilles�察�which all Trojans feared�察�

and leaped into the chariot   where Automedon�察�the squire�察�had harnessed 

Xanthus and   Balius�察 �two   horses that   were the  children�察 �men   said�察 �of the 

West Wind�察�and a led horse was harnessed beside them in the side traces。 

Meanwhile        the   two    thousand     men     of   Achilles�察   �who     were    called 

Myrmidons�察�had   met   in   armour�察  �five   companies of   four   hundred   apiece�察�

under five chiefs of noble names。           Forth they came�察�as eager as a pack of

wolves that have eaten a great red deer and run to slake their thirst with 

the dark water of a well in the hills。 

     So   all   in  close    array�察 �helmet     touching     helmet    and    shield   touching 

shield�察�like a moving wall of shining bronze�察�the men of Achilles charged�察�

and Patroclus�察�in the chariot led the way。                Down they came at full speed 

on   the   flank   of   the   Trojans�察  �who   saw   the   leader�察  �and   knew   the   bright 

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
