    Agamemnon wronged Achilles by despoiling him of his fair share of the pillage: Briseis. this should in no way be done by any soldier to any other, let alone to a demi-god like Achilles. It's inacceptable especially by the Greeks a warlike people at the time.

    Achilles offended the king by his vindictive. Being the king of men, Agamemnon should in no way be spoken to so roughly and harshly as Achilles did.
