Achilles
also: Ἀχιλλεύς, Ἀχιλῆος
Greatest of the Achaean warriors at Troy, dead before the Odyssey opens; Nestor recalls fighting under his lead, and his shade appears among the dead in Book 11.
Reading notes
- The Iliad §1.1 Achilles
Son of Peleus and the sea-nymph Thetis, the greatest of the Achaean warriors; his wrath at Agamemnon's seizure of his prize Briseis — and his consequent withdrawal from battle — is the poem's central subject, resolved only by Patroclus's death and his own return to kill Hector.
- The Odyssey §3.103 Achilles
The greatest Achaean warrior at Troy, already dead; Nestor recalls the plunder-raids he led and his death alongside Ajax and Patroclus.
- The Odyssey §4.1 the son of Achilles
Menelaus is marrying his daughter Hermione to Achilles's son (unnamed here, but known elsewhere as Neoptolemus).
- The Odyssey §8.46 Achilles, son of Peleus
Demodocus's first song recalls his quarrel with Odysseus at a feast, which pleased Agamemnon as fulfillment of an oracle.
