		A possible further reason for Goethe’s discomfort was the play’s representation of the Classical world, which some have seen as deliberately conceived in opposition to the humane, rational culture portrayed in works such as Goethe’s Iphigenie auf Tauris [Iphigenie in Tauris, 1787].
		Kleist chose not to portray the better known story of Achilles’; defeat of the Amazon queen Penthesilea, but rather a variant on this story that he found in Benjamin Hederich’s Mythological Lexicon (1724), according to which Penthesilea defeated Achilles.
		In Scene 4, the Greeks try to make Achilles return to the discipline of a battle-plan, but he insists that he will not rejoin the battle until he has subjugated Penthesilea and made her his bride.
