Achilles, Agamemnon, Athena. 1-5

 

 
1. Athena reacts to Achilles anger by telling him to relax and to just leave Agamemnon alone.  Agamemnon didn't like this because he was ready to fight and wanted to wit. I believe that he was angry and thought that the feud was just stupid and that they were immature for fighting even though they're on the same side.

2.Agamemnon is more to blame for their feud because he decided to fight Troy and argue with Achilles to get him mad. If it wasn't for Agamemnon, none of this would've happened.
3. Achilles gets frustrated very easily.He gets very angry at Agamemnon and doesn't obey Athena because of his anger. Agamemnon just wants his prize and he's greedy and very selfish.

4.Athena tells Achilles to stop because it won't make anything better.  Gods and mortals are close and if the Gods see something wrong that the mortals are doing, they will punish them and send something to cause another conflict. For example, the plague that Apollo sent.
5. Achilles words may be foreshadowing the defeat of Agememnon.
