Patroclus being a noble comrade and warrior.






Being noble is like being a hero. And what does hero do? Protecting people. 


I absolutely agree that Patroclus is a noble comrade and warrior when he fought for his kingdom, for his people. He went to Achilles and told Achilles that he's crying for the wounded Greeks. Achilles again explains his resent against Agamemnon and his determination to keep his promise not to rejoin the battle when it reached his own ships. But since the fight is near, he'll let Patroclus wear his helmet and armor to scare the Trojans and win honor for Achilles, and get Briseis and other gifts for Achilles. He fought with Hector, and all Hector knew that he was fighting with Achilles and took the fight seriously and when Hector killed his foe, he took off Patroclus' helmet and found out that his rival was Patroclus not Achilles.


Base on the story, we definitely proven that Patroclus is really a noble comrade and warrior, he pretended that he was Achilles and scare the Trojans just for the injured Greek Soldiers. He didn't hesitate to fight Hector with courage and for the honour of his homeland.

Achilles' character.



Achilles didn't do what Agamemnon wants him to do, but he instead refused to obey Agamemnon and play he's lyre in his tent, after being insulted by Agamemnon. Agamemnon wanted Achilles to bow down everytime he went to the King's tent, which resulted an arguement between them. Achilles is known to be great warrior among the soldiers of Achaeans who didn't like the treatment of Agamemnon that makes Achilles to refuse to go in front of the line. Agamemnon sent his emissaries loads of  peace offerings for Achilles but this didn't impress Achilles and told to them, "I'd rather go home and live in peace instead of going to the war with Agamemnon's soldiers "

Achilles showed stubborness when he decided not to continue to go in front of the line cause his skills are far more superior than anyone. And he is bound to fight with the Achaeans army in the disposed of King Agamemnon.

Achilles is a great warrior. He has superhuman strength and has a close relationship with the gods. He's the mightiest man among the Achaean army. He cannot control his pride. The way Achilles acted when he refuse to follow the orders of the king that led him to abandon his fellow soldiers and even pray that the Trojans will kill them. By choosing his personal faith, Achilles will be remembered to be one of the great warriors ever lived with pride and honour.

Menelaus and Paris.

Who I consider as a nobler/ greater/ more honorable man? I choose Paris. Because, he did not only fight for Helen, but also for his men and for Troy even though Paris stole Menelaus' wife, he did that because he love Helen more than his life. While Menelaus loves Helen, because she's rich. Menelaus wants her riches, her money so that he'll gain more power. Menelaus is not deserving to called a noble man. 


  1. Menelaus loves Helen for the reason that Helen's rich.
  2. Paris stole Helen because he loves her more than anything.
  3. Paris will do everything for Helen that he would even die for her.

Let's talk about Robin Padilla and Mariel Rodriguez. Robin is too old for Mariel, I think Robin does not love Mariel, he did marry her because he wants to be famous again. And in that way, people will talk about them and people will bring issues about them. And Robin can be more famous.
