Patroclus climbs3 times Patroclus climbs the walls but all he does is falls.
Patroclus is shocked when Apollo knocked off his armour and his helmet.
Patroclus's spear was shattered and fell to the ground
his body battered.

Patroclus had murder in his heart from the very start.
The battle was fierce with Trojans and Greeks and all around frightenly bleek.
Euphorbus son of Panthous struck Patroclus fiercly with no
remorse.

For Hector revenge was sweet as he stood at patroclus's dieing feet.
Even in the shadow of patroclus's death Man slaying Hector was
warned of his own forthcoming
Death.
