Changing Some Events
If i will change one event in the Illiad, I will change the event where Helen chose to be with Paris. If Helen did not do that thing, maybe there will be no problem for them. There will be no war and they will avoid seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Each of their kingdom will live peacefully and far from war. In my own version, I want to end the story by Menelaus realizing that a true man is willing to give up his love for the other if the person is not happy with him. Then, Menelaus will let go of Helen and allow her to be with her true love. After that, Menelaus will move on and try to find his way how to live without Helen. Paris and Helen will be with each other and the story ends happily and peacefully.

Patroclos
No, Patroclos is not a noble comrade and warrior. During the war, Patroclos convinced Achilles to let him don Achilles' armor and lead the Myrmidonsn into combat. Achilles did not allow him. But because of his lust for combat, Patroclos pursued the Trojans all the way back to the gates of Troy, defying Achilles' order to break off combat once the ships were saved. Patroclos killed many Trojans and allies including Lycian hero Sarpedon and Cebriones. But in the end, he was stunned by Apollo, wounded by Euphorbos and finished off by Hector. This is why Patroclos cannot be considered as a noble comrade and warrior. He can't even follow an order from his good friend Achilles. I also think that he is too violent for a warrior so i don't think that he is a noble warrior.
