1) What does Patroclus propose to Achilles and what is Achilles’ response? Why does Achilles grant Patroclus’ request?
Patroclus proposes Achilles to send him into battle instead of Achilles, since he refuses to. Achilles agrees with Patroclus and gives him his armor, weapons and horse.
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?
Patroclus meant that Achilles thinks so highly of himself. He is sure that he is the best warrior and see's himself higher than others. His confidence and courage changes the way thinks also changing his judgment.
3) Either ask questions about the text or write down vocab words from the text with definitions.
Why did Achilles let Patroclus go to battle if he was his best friend and knew he would die? In earlier books Achilles wouldn’t let Patroclus go, why now?
