"Not once have you risked your life in a raid!" he brazenly condemned the commander. "When have you crouched in the cold half of the night, waiting for the moment to attack? What men have you slain? What wounds have you suffered? Yet you take the largest share of spoils, while we who fight get next to nothing!" pg.44

I picked this passage because I thought it was great how Achilles told and expressed to Agamemnon that what he was doing was unfair. It was not fair how Achilles and his men worked hard to fight, how they had to stay out all night long waiting to attack while Agamemnon sits in his palace and does nothing. Achilles and his men suffered wounds and soldiers were getting killed in battle. Even though the soldiers did all the hard work, Agamemnon took all the spoils for himself and the soldiers who worked hard and fought, got next to nothing. Coreyo
