		So she sent Achilles to the court of King Lycomedes, where he was dressed as a girl and hidden with the king's daughters.
		Achilles was always in the forefront of the battles, and time and again he and his men, the Myrmidons, led the Greeks to victory.
		And then Achilles rose up, donned the new armor that his mother had brought, fresh from the forges of the god Hephaistos, and plunged back into battle, routing the Trojans and slaying Hector, their general and the oldest son of King Priam.

		Achilles was the son of the mortal Peleus, king of the Myrmidons in Phthia (southeast Thessaly), and the sea nymph Thetis.
		When Achilles was born, Thetis had tried to make Achilles immortal by dipping him in the river Styx, but forgot to wet the heel she held him by, leaving him vulnerable.

		Achilles was the son of Peleus, king of the Myrmidones in Phthia (SE Thessaly), and the sea nymph Thetis.
		According to legend, Thetis had tried to make Achilles invincible by dipping him in the river Styx, but forgot to wet the heel she held him by, leaving him vulnerable so he could be killed by a blow to that heel.
		Achilles and Agamemnon argued and Achilles refused to fight any longer; Patroclus donned his armor and took his place and was killed by Hector (who also took Achilles' armor).

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.06.45
		Noting that the transference of Achilles' tomb from Sigeum to Chersonese and its odd location in the Achaean camp are not explained in the play, M. argues that its relocation focuses attention on the importance of Achilles for the plot.
		The notion of heroism in the play is transferred from the male to the female in the scene between Achilles and Iphigenia.
		Achilles' failure to wear the armour, which is an important stage prop, especially as he exits before the sacrifice of Iphigenia, indicates his inability to assume his heroic role.

		The woman standing over Achilles (who is dressed as a woman), appears to be pregnant; presumably, she is Lycomedes' daughter and the child belongs to Achilles.
		Achilles himself is punished as well, because the drawing still shows Thetis holding her son by the ankle,emphasizing his weakness and foreshadowing his demise.
		Achilles' triumph is not that of honor in battle, but of truly loving another person and avenging his death.

		Achilles' superiority, on the other hand, is paradoxically articulated by means of his immobility and covering with the mantle, his assumption of an uncomfortable sitting position, 'bent over like someone in physical pain' as Shapiro puts it, and his lowering of his eyes.
		Achilles is an individual, seated at the centre of the stage, mantled and silent.
		Achilles' immobility and silence, and his subsequent outburst challenge the claim of language to power and authority but also behavioural and spatial norms which are well documented in iconography and which are reinstated by Aristophanes in the Frogs.

		In Greek mythology, Achilles (etymology unknown), grandson of Aeacus (Αχιλλευς Αιακιδης, Akhilleus Aiákidês, also transliterated as Achilleus, Akhilles, or Akhilleus) was the greatest and the central character of Homer's Iliad.
		Achilles is overwhelmed with grief for his dear friend and lover, and the rage he once harbored toward Agamemnon begins shifting to Hector.
		As predicted by Hector with his dying breath, Achilles was thereafter killed by Paris — either by an arrow to the heel, or in an older version by a knife to the back while visiting Polyxena, a Trojan princess.

		Maybe he'll prove me wrong, but Brad Pitt doesn't seem the right choice to play Achilles in Wolfgang Petersen's “Troy.” The hunk they signed to play Hector, Eric Bana (“The Hulk”), is a much better choice.

		Achilles is getting sly like Ulysses and mentions his intention to ply Hector with wine on the eve of his attack on him.
		Somewhat convincingly, which is a horrible admission and testament to the validity of the outlook of this play, Hector enthusiastically insists that honor is at stake.
		It seems too breezy to claim simply that this play is "a fundamental interrogation of heroic values along with a painfully realistic portrayal of the growth and breakdown of an intense love-relationship that founders under the pressures of war" (Wells 215).

		The second character is Kleitophon, the protagonist of Achilles Tatius’ novel, who compares his experience to that of an initiand, “But I, like someone in a mystery ritual, knew nothing, neither who this person was nor why he was beating me”.
		In the second simile, Achilles Tatius puts Kleitophon in a mystery-like situation of violence and bafflement to which the same mythological exempla used by Apuleius may be applied.
		But the mystery of this scene immediately leads to another: nowhere in any extant ancient novel is mystical language more concentrated than in the scene in which Kleitophon finally consummates his marriage to the accidentally bigamous Melite, whose first husband has just beaten and imprisoned him (V.25-27).

		But centuries earlier, according to Plato's Symposium, they are proof that "love is the eldest and noblest and mightiest of the gods, and the chiefest author and giver of virtue in life and of happiness after death." In other words, they're the greatest lovers of all time.
		At the same time the play explores the relationship among Achilles, Briseis, and Patroclus, it recasts the story against the backdrop of a modern war that looks a lot like the American adventure in Iraq.

	Aeskhylus * People, Places, & Things * Greek Mythology: From the Iliad to the Fall of the Last Tyrant
		Aeskhylus was born in Eleusis circa 512 BCE and died in Gela, on the island of Sicily, circa 455 BCE; his grave marker declared him to be an Athenian veteran of the battle of Marathon (490 BCE).
		Aeskhylus is said to have written as many as seventy plays but only seven have survived; his extant plays are tragic works that include: The Suppliants, The Persians, Seven Against Thebes, Prometheus Bound, Agamemnon, the Libation Bearers and the Eumenides.
		All the plays are excellent and should be read by even the casual student of Greek literature; my favorites are Prometheus Bound and the trilogy known as Oresteia, which includes: Agamemnon, the Libation Bearers and the Eumenides.
