Questions for the revision of the Iliad and Homer48) Three of the gift offerings that Agamemnon will make to the implacable Achilles are seven tripods never touched by fire, ten ingots of gold and twenty burnished cauldrons. It makes quite different and interesting offers. The return of Briseus' daughter is perhaps the most significant.49) Odysseus presents Agamemnon's offer to Achilles, but Achilles immediately rejects it. Odysseus editorializes or puts a more positive spin on Agamemnon's supposed apology by talking about even more gifts and reminding Achilles that he can now kill Hector. Achilles still intends to live a long, prosaic life and return home, instead of dying gloriously in battle.50) Agamemnon has Odysseus, Ajax, and Phoenix try to convince Achilles to return to battle. Odysseus warns Achilles that if he waits too long he will regret it. The Phoenix speaks of the ancient story of Meleager and reminds Achilles that he was a father figure towards him. Ajax calls Achilles ruthless and suggests that those who try to convince him to leave. Odysseus points out that Achilles can now kill Hector, Phoenix reminds Achilles that the Achaeans need him, and Ajax is a little harsher on Achilles, but talks about similar core values. They appear to have made some progress, but the embassy still returns to Agamemnon without success.51) Agamemnon intends to increase the sense of solidarity and obligation among the Achaeans by showing them respect and promising them that if they help, there will be protection. . He refuses to let many of his men sleep.52) Diomedes and Odysseus will go on reconnaissance missions and hope to uncover the various Trojan plans. Hector on the other hand wants to know if the Achaeans... in the center of the card... Apollo.95) Five of the events of the funeral games include boxing, spear throwing, wrestling, archery, and a chariot race. After the chariot race the gifts were laboriously awarded to Eumelus, Antilochus and Menelaus. Unfortunately there have been many discussions. As I understand it, Eumelus went with the armour, Antilochus with a mare, and Menelaus with a shiny cauldron. This exchange of gifts is quite dramatic.96) The celebration of victory in war is different from victory in funeral games in that it is a solemn and somber occasion, while the celebration of victory in funeral games is dynamic and lively. During the first the people involved come to dark realizations, however during the second Hector's life is celebrated. Homer's depiction of war is uncommon, and in many other ancient Greek depictions success in war is quite glorious.
