In Claymation, we see the story of Achilles. He loves Patroclus; they carry that love with them when the Greeks seek revenge on Troy. After nine years of assault on the city, Achilles goes into a funk and withdraws from the battle when he decides that Agamemnon, the Greek king, has denied him his due spoils, a captured Trojan slave girl. In Achilles' absence, Patroclus leads the Greeks into battle, with tragic consequences. To avenge his loss and absolve his grief, Achilles faces Hector.

"DIR: Barry Purves SUMMARY: A retelling of the story of Achilles, Patroclus and their love for each other. WHY IT'S HERE: Barry Purves's 'Achilles' approaches its subject matter from several interesting angles. It recasts the Greek myth as a story of homosexual love between Achilles and Patroclus, an angle that Purves teases out extremely convincingly. Even more unusually, Purves has chosen to stage the story as if it were being performed as ancient Greek theatre, with a dark, artificial set "
