Summary
For sixteen years, Patroclus has worked hard to keep the war from harming those he loved the most. He convinced Achilles to choose peace and life over glory, and together they had grown and raised their family. He was convince King Peleus and the foreign leaders alike to keep Phthia out of the war, preventing a single man from being shipped to the beaches of Troy. He had worked hard to keep the peace, and for a long time, succeeded.
But that was before the cunning King of Ithaca uses his tricks to attack the peaceful family on their eldest's 16th birthday, taking away their peace, their safety and their oldest son. That was before Odysseus showed he thought himself entitled to take it all. That was before Odysseus showed he thought no consequences would come to him.
Patroclus would prove him wrong, ensuring the Ithacan King lost what he had lost. That all those war-mongering kings, the ones whose arrogance and entitlement kept the war raging for 16 years, would lose it all.
