Agamemnon and Achilles

Achilles and Patroclus were invited to dinner by Odysseus and giant Ajax. They told the Greek champion Achilles that the Greeks were losing the war. An old tutor of Achilles asked him to reconsider, offering a cautionary tale about help given too late. But Achilles would have none of it. He was done with Agamemnon. The Greek king, he said, was a waste of space. And as for the treasures, he wouldn't sacrifice his life for any treasure.
