Chapter Zero

       

        The Iliad is a long novel that was written by Homer and it is about the great Trojan War. The story began with a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the Great Warrior Achilles. They had a quarrel because of Agamemnon’s stubbornness when he first refused to return Chryseis the daughter of the priest Chryses. That’s the time the priest asks help to God Apollo and it was granted and there was like a shower of arrows fell and killed a lot of Achaeans. Then Achilles settled this but when Agamemnon decided to let Chryseis he now gets the lady of Achilles who is Breseis and therefore Achilles got mad to Agamemnon.

        For me, I think that this is the event that I will change in the story. Because of what Agamemnon did, Achilles got upset to him. When the Trojan War started Achilles did not join in the battlements early on because of Agamemnon. He is a great warrior that I think both Trojans and Achaeans are scared to battle against him but the Trojans are hopeful in the start of the war because Achilles has not been battling yet. So a lot of Achaeans died in the war and it’s like that the Trojans are already winning the war. If Agamemnon did not insult him I think that he will already be at the war and the Trojans would have fall early. Even though that it is already destined, it will be more helpful for the Achaeans and there will be less number of warriors died on the war if Achilles battled already. I’m pretty sure that the two kings won’t have a quarrel anymore. This war won’t be that long and maybe his best friend Patroclus won’t die anymore. And on the end still the Achaeans won the war and the Trojans fell under them.
