Dans la mythologie grecque, Patrocle (en grec ancien Πάτροκλος / Pátroklos ou Πατροκλῆς / Patroklễs, est un des guerriers grecs de la guerre de Troie, principalement décrit dans l’Iliade.Dans le récit homérique, Patrocle « Ménœtiade » est l'ami intime d'Achille, et également son cousin — ils ont la nymphe Égine en commun — qui l'accompagne à Troie. Quand les Troyens menacent d'envahir le camp grec, il supplie en vain le héros de reprendre les armes, mais obtient la permission de mener lui-même les Myrmidons au combat. Il parvient à mettre en déroute l'ennemi, mais finit par trouver la mort de la main d'Hector. Fou de douleur, Achille reprend les armes. L'amitié de Patrocle et d'Achille est proverbiale. À partir du V siècle av. J.-C., les deux jeunes gens deviennent également un symbole des relations homosexuelles, dont se réclament par exemple Alexandre le Grand et Héphaestion. Platon loue son courage.

The opening scene shows the troops of Agamemnon of Mycenae ready to fight against the troops of Triopas of Thessaly. Afterwards, Prince Hector of Troy and his younger brother Paris negotiate a peace treaty with Menelaus, king of Sparta, and celebrate the end of a long and bloody war. Paris, however, is having a secret love affair with Menelaus' wife, Queen Helen, and smuggles her aboard their homebound vessel, much to Hector's fury, as this could lead to war between Troy and Greece. Upon learning of this, Menelaus meets with his elder brother, King Agamemnon of Greece, and asks his help in taking Troy. Agamemnon, who has wanted to conquer Troy for a long time, agrees, since it will give him control of the Aegean Sea. On King Nestor's advice, Agamemnon has Odysseus, King of Ithaca, persuade Achilles to join them. Achilles, who strongly dislikes Agamemnon and his ways, initially refuses, but eventually decides to go after his mother, Thetis, tells him that though he will die, he will be forever remembered.
