プロテシラオスの船が燃えるのを見たアキレウスは、パトロクロスに自分の武具を着せ、馬を与えて、ミュルミドン勢とともに送り出した。トロイア勢はその姿を見てアキレウスだと思い、背を向けて逃げた。パトロクロスは壁の内まで追い込んで多くを討ち、その中にはゼウスの子サルペドンもいた。だが彼自身も、まずエウフォルボスに傷つけられたのち、ヘクトルに討たれた。

But when Achilles saw the ship of Protesilaus burning, he sent out Patroclus with the Myrmidons, after arming him with his own arms and giving him the horses. Seeing him the Trojans thought that he was Achilles and turned to flee. And having chased them within the wall, he killed many, amongst them Sarpedon, son of Zeus, and was himself killed by Hector, after being first wounded by Euphorbus.
