Drengene trænes i kamp og undervises i lægekunst, og efterhånden som de vokser op, udvikler deres venskab sig til kærlighed. Da den smukke Helena kidnappes af en trojansk prins, sender grækerne deres stærke helt Achilleus i krig mod Troja. Patroklos frygter for sin ven og tager med ham, uvidende om, at de næste år kan koste ham alt.Achilleus’ sang er en storladen og følelsesfuld roman om krig, ære og udødelig kærlighed.
