Achilles Argument Between Achilles And Agamemnon

In the Argument between Achilles and Agamemnon, Achilles’ argument is more reasonable. Agamemnon should be able to give up his prize without much hesitation. Should his pride and his ‘prize’ be placed above the lives of his people? As the ruler of the kingdom, he should be able to place the lives of his people over his pride. That, in it’s own way, would be worth more faith and honor from his people than owning one woman. It would be selfish to demand that Achilles should hand over the woman that he earned because of Agamemnon’s mistake. The king is the one that is responsible to ensure his people’s safety. Angering a god would not help their situation, especially when they are at war.
