Greek warrior Achilles and R, an ancient Greek portrait. In Greek mythology, Achilles was renowned as the greatest Greek warrior. That was the case with Achilles and Patroclus, with Achilles being the older and more powerful of the two. The primary source for the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus is Homer's Iliad, an epic poem about the Trojan War. In the 2004 movie Troy, directed by Wolfgang Petersen, Achilles' relationship with Patroclus is portrayed as a close friendship rather than a romantic relationship.
