Patroclus comforts Briseis (2019)

An episode in which Patroclus comforted Briseis when she fell into slavery: Briseis, looking like golden Aphrodite, then saw Patroclus mutilated by sharp bronze. With a cry, she threw herself on him, hands tearing at her breast, her tender neck, her lovely face, fair as a goddess, lamenting: “Patroclus, you who brought the utmost joy to my sad heart, I left you here alive, when I went off, taken from these huts. But now, at my return, I find you dead, you, the people’s leader. Again for me, as always, evil follows evil. I saw the husband I was given to by my father and my noble mother killed by sharp bronze before our city. My brothers, three of them, whom my own mother bore, whom I loved, have all met their fatal day. But when swift Achilles killed my husband, you wouldn’t let me weep. You told me then       you’d make me lord Achilles’ wedded wife, he’d take me in his ships back to Phthia, for a marriage feast among the Myrmidons. You were always gentle. That’s the reason I’ll never stop this grieving for your death.”                                             Homer, Iliad, Song 19
