For example, the death of Patroclus causes such an uproar that he convinces Achilles to join the battle again, even though he knows it will result in his death. 'I must die soon, then; for I should not have assisted my companion when he was killed" (Homer 18.98). The deaths of Patroclus, Hector, and Achilles are emphasized most in the Iliad, and these deaths are heavily foreshadowed throughout the text. Even when Achilles kills Hector, he recognizes that he too will die soon. “But for me too, I tell you, Death and the mighty force of Destiny await” (Homer 21.123). The audience and even Achilles himself know that his death is near. Furthermore, Achilles tells his army that they will not eat until Patroclus' death is avenged. This shows the impact that Patroclus' death has had on Achilles and the severity with which Achilles is grieving. A pro-war piece would not include such drastic examples of mourning nor contain deaths that evoke such sadness in both characters and characters.
