Homer's Iliad, the famous epic of the poet. An epic that made Greece and its mythological world known to the ends of the earth. The Iliad that unfolded its story around the "month" of Achilles, the great anger of the greatest hero. An anger justified for the great injustice of the seizure of his gift by Agamemnon, when he lost his own. "Gift" was the tall, brown-haired and tight-eyed Vrisida. Agamemnon lusted after her and his arrogance snatched her from Achilles, beautiful as God.
Great unrest was caused in the Gulf of Achaea, there on the front of Troy. Dark days were predicted by the fortune tellers Ionoscopes reading the flight of the birds and they did not fall outside. In the assembly convened by the oldest sages of Argia to find the solution and united to fall back into battle, heavy words are exchanged. Words that bring Achilles' hand to the sword to kill. The goddess Athena had to intervene to soften her protégé, asking him to take revenge by countering the insults.
But the result does not change. The leader of the Myrmidons, the "Ants" with the unarmed armor that became terrible warriors, watches with tears to take away his "old man", his gift. His rage was so great that he withdrew himself from the battle. He only came back when his brother friend Patroclus lost his life to Hector. And he really would have no reason to return except to kill, stab and avenge the hand that cut the thread of Patroclus's life.
