quote: ''
summary: Agamemnon agrees to return a maiden but quarrels with Calchas and Achilles.
Athena restrains Achilles from killing Agamemnon. Agamemnon takes Briseis from
Achilles, and Achilles withdraws from battle. Achilles appeals to his mother Thetis,
who promises to ask Zeus to favor the Trojans so the Greeks will feel his absence.
Trojan successes lead Agamemnon to send an embassy offering restitution and gifts,
but Achilles refuses. Patroclus later borrows Achilles' armor and leads the Myrmidons,
but disregards Achilles' warning, pursues the Trojans to Troy, and is killed by
Hector. Achilles grieves, vows to kill Hector and sacrifice twelve Trojans at
Patroclus' funeral pyre, reconciles with Agamemnon, and receives new armor forged
by Hephaestus at Thetis' request.
