XVIII book eighteen
As Achilles is mourning the loss of his friend, he asks the gods to help him, so struggle and quarrel, all strife would die from the lives of gods and men. His anger is fed by bitter gall, sweeter than dripping streams of honey, blinded by emotions he asks the gods to help him see things clearer than ever. Oh yes, he Achilles is going to show this Hector, this murderer a shortcut to the underworld. He swears a solemn oath to cut him to pieces and feed the chained guard dogs at the entrance to Hades with his pale flesh. So Achilles prays that the anger at Agamemnon king of men would go away. "Enough. Let bygones be bygones. Done is done."
