Document Summary
There is reconciliation between the danaans and the trojans. There is a funeral for patroklos and funeral games following shortly after. The lightheartedness of the funeral games shows he has undergone a significant change in book 23. Book 24: there is reconciliation between the chains and trojans again where priam goes to. Achilleus"s hut to ransom back the body of hektor. Book 24 is a mirror image of book 1: book 1 begins with a quarrel with achilleus & agamemnon. In book24, there is a meeting between achilleus"s mortal enemy priam and achilleus himself. The ghost of patroklos appears to achilleus and tells him to bury him as quickly as possible. Achilleus notes the phantom like appearance of him. The ghost tells achilleus in line 80: there have been many illusions to dying an early death at the skaian gates, in the front of the city of troy; this takes place after the score of the war.
