This hero was Achilles, whom the sea-goddess Thetis had borne to Peleus, king of Phthiotis, in Thessaly. But at last, in the tenth year of the siege, Achilles suffered a grieyous afflront from the king, Agamemnon, who took away from him his prize, the captive damsel Brlsels. Then Achilles was angry, and said that he would fight for the Greeks no more, and withdrew from the army to his tent by the seashore. 129 Digitized by VjOOQIC 130 POPE'S ILIAD. •* This is the moment at which the Hiad begins..., • Sing, goddess, the wrath of Achilles.* The Wrath of Achilles — what it did, and how at last it was tamed away — is the central subject of the Iliad. Bat this sabject is so treated as to make a general picture of the whole siege daring a few days of its tenth and last year, when Troy was about to fall. The first result of Achilles' refusing to fight was, that the Trojans now dared to come forth and give battle to the Greeks. The Iliad is in twenty-four books. The first fifteen of these are taken up with the story of the wavering strife; how victory leaned now this way, now that; how some Greek hero slew a Trojan hero, hand to hand, or a Trojan slew a Greek; how the gods and goddesses them- selves took this or that side in the fray.
