The USS Patroclus was named after Achillies beloved slain in what war by Hector?
USS Patroclus (ARL-19) USS "Patroclus" (ARL-19) was laid down as a United States Navy "LST-542"-class tank landing ship but converted to one of 39 "Achelous"-class repair ship s that were used for repairing landing craft during World War II. Named for Patroclus (a Homeric character; a beloved of Achilles, slain by Hector while fighting in Achilles’ armor), she was the only US Naval vessel to bear the name.
Menelaus In Greek mythology, Menelaus ( ; Greek: Μενέλαος , "Menelaos", from μένος "vigor, rage, power" and λαός "people," "wrath of the people") was a king of Mycenaean (pre-Dorian) Sparta, the husband of Helen of Troy, and a central figure in the Trojan War. He was the son of Atreus and Aerope, brother of Agamemnon, king of Mycenae and, according to the "Iliad", leader of the Spartan contingent of the Greek army during the War. Prominent in both the "Iliad" and "Odyssey", Menelaus was also popular in Greek vase painting and Greek tragedy, the latter more as a hero of the Trojan War than as a member of the doomed House of Atreus.
