Wow. Busy day. But I won't bore you with the details. This chapter has a huge turning point. Let's get to it.
It finally happened. Patroklos died. After a long, successful struggle to beat the Trojans back, Patroklos got surprise-attacked by Apollo. Hektor then finished off the wounded Patroklos. Hektor didn't even do it all himself. I mean, this is not good for Hektor. Patroklos was even more than a match for him it seemed. I don't think he'll be happy to meet Achilles again.
Now that Patroklos is dead, we can finally get on with the destruction of Troy. This is so far off from the movie that I've given up thinking that I have any idea about what's going to happen. I must say that I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I knew Patroklos would die. I just didn't know when.
It's a very curious thing. Homer was blind right? How does he describe everything so well? Maybe he wasn't always blind. Curiouser and curiouser. I don't know.
After the long day, I'm kind of tired at 3:25 A.M. Good bye for now. It's another day tomorrow.
