Patroclus - Death

In the Iliad, we learn that Hector (son of Priam, King of Troy) kills Patroclus (Patroklos) and keeps the armor (which belongs to Achilles) for himself.

This scene, from a red-figure crater dating to c. 500 BC and found in Sicily, shows Patroclus as he is lifted from the battle scene.
