"Patroclus handing Briseis to the Heralds of Agamemnon" is a neoclassical painting by French artist Pierre-Edme-Louis Pellier, created in the early 19th century. The artwork depicts a scene from Homer's epic poem, the Iliad, in which Patroclus, the close friend and companion of the Greek hero Achilles, is shown surrendering Briseis, a war prize, to the heralds of King Agamemnon. This moment in the narrative is a pivotal one, as it triggers the wrath of Achilles and sets in motion a series of events that affect the outcome of the Trojan War.

Pellier's painting captures the emotional intensity of the scene, with a focus on the figures' expressions and the dramatic interaction between the characters. The artist's use of light, shadow, and composition reflects the neoclassical style's emphasis on clarity, order, and the portrayal of noble themes derived from classical antiquity. The painting serves as an example of the neoclassical movement's fascination with the ancient world and its stories, which were considered to embody timeless virtues and moral lessons.

The work is significant for its historical and artistic value, as it not only represents the neoclassical aesthetic but also contributes to the visual interpretation of one of Western literature's most enduring epics. "Patroclus handing Briseis to the Heralds of Agamemnon" is an important piece within Pellier's oeuvre and offers insight into the broader cultural and artistic trends of the period in which it was created.
