Achilles, Agamemnon, and Athena
1. Athena reacts to Achilles anger by telling him to calm down, and leave Agamemnon alone. Agamemnon on the other hand was mad and ready to fight. I believe Nestor was angry and thought they were acting like idiots; I'm not entirely sure about him.
2.I think Agamemnon bears the greater share of the blame for their conflict because he decided to fight Troy and tick Achilles off.
3. I learn that Achilles has a short temper. I learned this when he goes off on Agamemnon and doesn't obey Athena. I don't know that I learned anything about Agamemnon (I have a really hard time understanding Homer's story..).
4.Athena tells Achilles to stop because nothing good will come from it. I believe gods and mortals are very connected and if the gods don't like what they see they will march straight down to Earth and tell the mortals.
5. Achilles words may be foreshadowing the destruction of Agamemnon and his people.
