>Achilles cries like a bitch for 3/4 of the novel after getting cucked.
>Lets most of the Achaean army get slaughtered.
>Is still the hero of the novel.
What did he mean by this?

He was a king in his own right, so his sitting out and letting Agamemnon get his ass handed to him wasn't exactly treason or anything. In fact, the whole war was over Agamemnon's brother getting cucked - would you fight by someone's side to get revenge for them when they did the exact same thing to you?

he does whatever he wants and if you don't like, then good luck trying to win the war
he is the epitome of a superman (can't get the 2 points above U on this keyboard), and he reflects that
It's like:
>I fucking know I can win this war alone, but I'm su pissed I won't do shit until I want
Sadly, things didn't turn out as expected for him and had to pay for his arrogance, sort of. Some could say that he was a spoiled bitch, but I think arrogance was looked as a sign of strenght for ancient greeks.

Why didn't every army dip their soldiers in the immortality river so they can have an immortal army?
>Sacrifices his own daughter for bullshit reasons.
>Hurts the pride of his strongest warrior, his army gets fucked because of it.
>Citizens hate him because he went to war just to save the pride of his cucked brother.
>While he's at war shooting himself in the foot at every step he takes, his wife cucks him with some random fucker.
>Gets fucking murdered by his wife when he returns home.
Why was Agammenon such shit?

I'm just mad that the audiobook of the Fagles translation has such a shitty reader.
No worries though, the Fitzgerald version is pretty good.
