In Homer's The Iliad, it focuses on how the mightiest warrior of the Achaean Army who’s filled with rage and bloodlust, undergoes a transformation. At the end of The Iliad, Achilles has slain Hector and humiliated the Trojan prince by dragging his body around on the ground from the back of his chariot. Mourning and begging, King Priam meets and pleads with Achilles to have his dead son Hector back for a proper burial. Achilles savageness and cruelty does not cease until King Priam reminds him of his own father by saying “Think of your father, O Achilles like unto the gods, who is such even as I am, on the sad threshold of old age" (Homer 486). These words finally soothes the raging Achilles temper as this transformation takes place, which Achilles then gives in and gives the corpse to King Priam.
