Answer:

Achilles and Patroklos have a strong friendship and are companions in battles, as well as Gilgamesh and Enkidu. In addition, Achilles and Patroklos have their friendship interrupted by Patroklos' death, just as Gilgamesh and Enkidu have their friendship destroyed by Enkidu's death.

Step-by-step explanation:

In "Iliad", we can see the building of a strong friendship between Achilles and Patrokos who establish themselves as true companions, loyal and loyal to each other. This friendship is so strong that it is admired all over the world, influencing other authors to compose their own stories, as it is possible to see in the Epic of Gilgamesh, with the friendship between Gilgamesh and Enkidu, which is as strong as that of Achilles and Patrokos and it is only ended with death.
