Finally and when things became even worse for the Achaeans, Achilles gave his armor to his beloved friend Patroclus.

Indeed, Patroclus succeeded in putting the Trojans to fight, but he was killed by Hector, who then took the weapons of Achilles.

Thetis brought him new weapons made by Hephaestus and after reconciling with Agamemnon, Achilles returned to the battle to avenge the death of his friend.
