Gavin Hamilton Achilles lamenting the Death of Patroclus ca. 1760-63 oil on canvas Scottish National Gallery, Edinburgh |
from Don Juan
There, on the green and village-cotted hill, is
(Flanked by the Hellespont, and by the sea)
Entombed the bravest of the brave, Achilles;
They say so – (Bryant says the contrary):
And further downward, tall and towering still, is
The tumulus – of whom? Heaven knows! 't may be
Patroclus, Ajax, or Protesilaus;
All heroes, who if living still would slay us.
– George Gordon, Lord Byron (1821)
