The Funeral Games of Patroclus

By Jacques-Louis David

And the son of Peleus led their passionate lament, placing his man-slaughtering hands upon the breast of his companion: “May it be well with thee, O Patroclus, even in the house of Hades; I am fulfilling now all I pledged to you before,​ dragging Hector here to give to the dogs to devour raw, and before your funeral pyre I will cut the throats of twelve of Troy’s noble sons, in rage for your slaying.
