Commentary
The events of Book 16 of the Iliad (the aristeia of Patroklos, the so-called âPatrokleiaâ) take place on Day 3 of the battle depicted in the epic (i.e. on Day 26 of the overall storyline of the Iliad); the account of the battle extends across 8 Books (Books 11â18: STR 21 f. with figs. 1 and 2; cf. STOEVESANDT 2004, 58â60) and is held together by a great arc of suspense: in Book 11, Zeus promises Hektor that the latter will on that day advance victoriously to the Achaian ships (11.185â213). In this way, Zeus fulfils Achilleusâ plea that the god help the Trojans and push the Achaians back to their ships in a battle for life or death in order to make Agamemnon realize his mistake (1.407â412; cf. Achilleusâ oath at 1.233â247; Achilleus repeats and hardens his stance toward the Achaian embassy: âI will not fight again before Hektor has reached the ships of the Myrmidonsâ [9.646â655]; on the origin and development of the âangerâ-motif in the Iliad, see LATACZ [1985] 1996, 90â106). In fact, Agamemnon, Diomedes, Odysseus, Machaon and Eurypylos are forced to leave the battle due to injury, while Aias must retreat in the face of Trojan dominance (11.248 ff.). At this point, Achilleus, who is following the events on the battlefield from afar (11.599â601), expects a change: âNow, the Achaians will beg me on their knees; their distress has become intolerableâ (11.609 f.). He sends his companion Patroklos to Nestor to inquire whether Machaon the physician is one of those leaving the battle (11.611â615); this errand will become âthe beginning of the endâ for Patroklos (11.604: prolepsisP). Nestor advises Patroklos to convince Achilleus to rejoin battle or, alternatively, to ask him to allow Patroklos to fight with the Myrmidons in Achilleusâ place (11.796â803). On his way back, Patroklos experiences the Achaian distress up close when he encounters and treats the wounded Eurypylos (11.806â848). In the meantime, the battle at the fortifications by the encampment of ships continues to rage, until Hektor manages to force open one of the gates (Book 12). The battle at the ships follows. Under divine influence, the battle surges back and forth (Books 13â15). Given the perilous situation, Patroklos finally leaves Eurypylos and hopes to persuade Achilleus to fight (15.390â404). Patroklos returns to Achilleus at the moment Hektor is standing at the stern of Protesilaosâ ship, as Aias alone is still managing to keep the Trojans from setting fire to the ship (15.704â746). Shocked and with tears streaming, Patroklos stands next to Achilleus (16.1 ff.). Although the Trojans have not quite reached Achilleusâ ships â i.e. given his announcement at 9.646â655 (esp. 655: âat my shelter and my shipâ), Achilleus does not yet consider himself in a position to intervene in battle without losing face (16.61bâ63) â he at least gives in to Patroklosâ plea to let the latter join the battle with the Myrmidons. At the same time, Aias is forced to retreat; the first Achaian ship catches fire (16.102â123). The aristeia of Patroklos begins and is recounted in detail (777n.).
This great arc of suspense has been the subject of much criticism up to the present day (detailed discussion including older bibliography in AH, Anh. on Il. 11, pp. 68â82; EICHHOLZ 1953; ALDEN 2000, 182â185; WEST 2011, 51â58; particularly sharp criticism in JACHMANN 1958, 56â77, 80 f.). Two bones of contention are highlighted here: (1) In Book 11, Achilleus is again awaiting an embassy and an offer of reconciliation from the Achaians â as though a delegation of leaders had not made representations shortly before in Book 9 (the so-called Presbeia) (PAGE 1959, 304â310, but see the interpretation of SCHADEWALDT [1938] 1966, 81 (transl.): âIn I [= Book 9], the Achaians did not beseech Achilleus âon their kneesâ, i.e. at all costs, but had instead offered to settleâ; cf. TSAGARAKIS 1971, 257â263; LLOYD-JONES 1981, 25â27; REICHEL 1994, 118â120 [with bibliography at n. 23]; 72bâ73n.; on the links between Books 9 and 16 in detail, see 3â4n., 48â100n., 60â63n., 72bâ73n., 83â96n.); (2) the wounded Machaon (see above) is not mentioned again in Book 16 after Patroklos returns to Achilleus, not even in the catalogue of the wounded at 25â27 (WILAMOWITZ 1916, 118 [transl.]: âOne should not be surprised that no rhapsode inserted the Machaon of whom Patroklos had to speakâ, but see the interpretation of BETHE 1914, 143â150 [transl.]: âIt is thus Nestorâs counsel that matters to the poet, while Achilleusâ question regarding Machaon only serves to motivate Patroklosâ visit to Nestorâ [loc. cit. 144]; similarly, ROTHE 1910, 342 f.; REINHARDT 1961, 264; LESKY [1962] 1966, 74 f.). The underlying function of Patroklosâ errand is to keep Achilleus present in the narrative (or at least mentioned) and to set up the Patrokleia (VON DER MĂHLL 1952, 238; on the latent presence of Achilleus, cf. LATACZ [1985] 1996, 122â125; [1995] 2014, 304 f.; on setting up the Patrokleia, AH, Anh. on Il. 11, p. 50); narratologically, this goal is achieved via an effective picking up and interconnecting of storylines, as well as via âcoveringâ scenesP: in the present Book, see e.g. 1n., 101n., 102â123n., 124n. (SCHADEWALDT loc. cit. 74â79, 94; cf. schol. bT on 15.405 [on which, NĂNLIST 2009, 83â85]; HELLWIG 1964, 98â100, 103; Kurz 1966, 163; DI BENEDETTO [1994] 1998, 247 n. 22; RENGAKOS 1995, 29 f.).
An overview of the action of Book 16 (see also the tabulated overview, p. 8 f.) is facilitated by the following commentary entries among others:
