* [[Greek Mythology]] has Achilles and Patroclus. It's Patroclus' death that motivates Achilles to [[Achilles in His Tent|get out of his tent]] and kick some [[The Trojan War|Trojan]] ass.
* [[Norse Mythology]] has Örvar-Oddr and Hjalmar, as shown in this page's image.
* The [[Older Than Dirt|oldest known legend]] in the world, ''[[The Epic of Gilgamesh]]'', is one such tale. The whole story after the first act is about Gilgamesh's quest for immortality, to which he is driven by the death of his close friend and comrade Enkidu.
