Achilles goes to great lengths to avenge the death of Patroclus. He even desecrates the dead, much to the dismay of Zeus.
King Priam is in great agony over the loss of his son, Hector.
Andromache is also in despair and weeps openly at the tragic loss of her husband, as any wife would be greatly grieved.
After reading the story, I want to play with the strong family ties that are given throughout the poem. I plan to base my story around these and create something there, perhaps a family feud instead of a war of nations.
