Conflict between Achilleus and Agammemnon could have been avoided had Agammemnon thought critically about making the same mistake Paris made in taking Helen, namely taking a woman promised to another man. He ended up doing the very same thing that started the war in the first place!

Thank for lord for Russell Jaffe! Just catching up on The Iliad now, but The Aeneid videos have saved my life!! I had no idea what was going on, and now I can give a somewhat detailed account of the story, with examples of important themes!
