The Great Caution
Doris S D Peleus et Thetis I must warn you, what you are about to hear is very unsettling. Apollo and Cassandra, as you know, can tell the future. They have informed me that there will come a day where you are faced with your biggest nightmare. Hecuba and Priam’s son, Paris, was going to be killed after his birth to save their people.

Apollo hurled a spear through Patroclus’ back and severely wounded him. Hector threw the last blow at Patroclus and murdered him.
