Achilles and Patroclus：阿喀琉斯和帕特洛克罗斯

希腊神话中，帕特洛克罗斯（Patroclus）是希腊第一勇士阿喀琉斯（Achilles）的远房亲戚和挚友，两人一同随希腊联军出征特洛伊。后来，阿喀琉斯与联军统帅阿伽门农不合，拒绝出战。希腊联军在战场上节节败退。善良的帕特洛克罗斯不忍看到士兵们受苦，更不忍挚友的名誉毁于一旦，于是穿上挚友的阿喀琉斯盔甲出战。他假扮的阿喀琉斯参战曾让希腊军士气大振，杀了许多特洛伊人及同盟军，但最后被特洛伊王子赫克托尔所杀。阿喀琉斯得知挚友被杀的消息，怒发冲冠，重返战场，与赫克托尔展开了决斗，最后杀死了赫克托尔，为自己的挚友复仇。从此以后，人们就用Achilles and Patroclus（阿喀琉斯和帕特洛克罗斯）来比喻“结义兄弟、肝胆相照的好兄弟”。
