The Iliad

The Iliad, Book I and Book XXII were both very interesting literary works to read. They weren't overly worded or too ancient to understand like past texts we've been reading in class. While Book I tells us about the disagreement/the bone of contention, Book XXII provides us with the resolution. However i do not understand why Achilles is fighting with Hector in Book XXII when he had a problem with Agamemnon in Book I. Achilles is the definiton of an epic hero due to his charisma and his love to win wars for the glory of his name. One thing i found weird was how the fight was portrayed in Book XXII. The writer stops in the middle of a fight scene and starts to talk about somehting totally outside of the battle scene. This tends to take away from the fight and might not make a reader take the fight seriously or understand the gravity of the fight.
