Achilles, the legendary Greek hero of the Trojan War, is often depicted as having a profound love for his close companion Patroclus. Their bond is characterized by deep friendship and loyalty, which profoundly impacts Achilles' actions throughout the Iliad. Additionally, Achilles is driven by a desire for glory and honor in battle, seeking to achieve immortal fame through his heroic deeds. Ultimately, his love for Patroclus and the quest for glory shape his character and fate in the epic narrative.

In the context of the Iliad, Achilles' relationship with Briseis is more about possession and honor rather than love. Achilles values Briseis as a symbolic representation of his status and authority, which is why he reacts so strongly when she is taken from him by Agamemnon. Their relationship is complex and reflects the power dynamics of that society.
After Achilles' death, Briseis was taken by the Greeks as a prize of war. She was awarded to Odysseus, who honored her as a symbol of Achilles' legacy. Briseis mourned Achilles deeply, reflecting her love and loyalty to him. Ultimately, her fate in the aftermath of the Trojan War is less detailed in the myths, leaving her later life somewhat ambiguous.
