Article body
copied from Patroclus (early days)-- During his childhood, Patroclus had killed another child in anger over a game. Patroclus was exiled from his home, Opius, and Menoetius gave Patroclus to Peleus, Achilles' father. Peleus named Patroclus Achilles' "squire" as Patroclus and Achilles grew up together and became close friends. Patroclus acted as a male role model for Achilles, as he was both kinder than Achilles and wise regarding counsel.
