Iliad Reflection

If you were an ancient Greek, which of the following statements would you agree with?
A) Achilles’ rage is justified and I support his decision not to fight, even if it means the Greeks might lose lots of men, or even the war itself.
Or
B) Agamemnon is the commander, as such he is in the right, and I support his decision to ask for Achilles’ war prize Briseis – even if it means that Achilles will sit out the war.


If I was an ancient Greek The statement that I would agree more with would be A. I think that losing a war can't be that bad, becuase them losing the war means that all the Greeks would have to combine as one. That means that there may not be a war between Greeks, becuase they would have to either fight as one group or not fight at all in war.
