Protect Patroklos' body

          Although Achilles has not yet determined to enter the fight, he is going to allow Patroklos to wear his armor in an attempt to fight off the Trojans from burning our ships. I think this is a very good idea because it may give us an edge we need to save our ships and once they see Achilles armor, they may be scared. At the very least, it will put a thought into their heads that Achilles may be back soon.

                      Patroklos did a very admirable job for us as he was able to push the Trojans further back, but unfortunately he was killed by Hektor. Menelaus has asked me to protect his body so we may return his body to Achilles. The Trojans are doing their best to grab his body, but I’m protecting him with every ounce of strength I have. I’ve already slaughtered numerous Trojans today, but I couldn’t keep them from taking Achilles armor as Hektor ripped it off and placed it on himself. I bet he regrets that later. It got to a point where I told Menelaus I needed more help protecting the body so we called for help from the Danaans. All in all, it was a bloody battle, but I ordered our men to stand hard and fast about him and fight at close quarters and we did.  If Achilles doesn’t enter this fight now after his best friend was killed, I don’t think he ever will.
