Bonus Blog: Words that Came from Achilles' Proud(?) Mouth

achillessss


This line struck me because it has kind of the same issue with Hector in book 6. As we have discussed Hector was given two choices. One was to benefit him, and his family, and two that will benefit him and the whole Troy. Achilles also faced the same problem. To fight or not to fight. Both men know that cowardice may equal long life, but it also equals dishonor and disgrace to his own place. But Hector accepts this fact more readily than Achilles.

    The line suggests the nobility of Hector. I just hope all of us thinks the same way: an honorable life rather than a disgraceful one.
