About this artwork

Achilles Mourning the Death of Patroklos

…only Achilles
wept still as he remembered his beloved companion, nor did sleep
who subdues all come over him, but he tossed from one side to the other
in longing for Patroklos, for his manhood and his great strength
and all the actions he had seen to the end with him, and the hardships
he had suffered; the wars of men; hard crossing of the big waters.

The Illiad, Book XXIV

The Trojan war has raged for ten years and Achilles is the Greek’s greatest hero. Hector, the best of the Trojans has just slain Patroklos, Achilles’ closest friend. Achilles is stricken with grief, leaves the battlefield, and orders a funeral pyre.
