The wrath of Achilles

Due to a disagreement with Agamemnon, commander of the Achaean army, Achilles had an anger explosion and stopped participating in the Trojan War till an embassy was sent to request his decisive presence for the desired victory (book I of Homer’s Iliad).

Por desentendimento com Agamémnon, comandante do exército Aqueu, Aquiles teve uma explosão de ira e deixou de participar na guerra de Troia até ao envio duma embaixada a solicitar a sua decisiva presença para a desejada vitória.
