Mighty Achillès: Hard-Hearted man

Achillès' decisions as a king were in appropriate. Chuck Noris, once said. "Men are like steel. When they lose their temper,they lose their worth".With his great rage over king Agamemnon, many were killed during the Trojan War.

In Books 9-11, we have witnessed Achillès as hard-hearted man. It was evident how angry he was to Agamenmon. He even answered. Prince Odysseus with out respect and warred Phoenix his father - like of hatred if he will insist him to forgive Agamemnon. Due to his anger to Agamemnon, he refused to help him in battle and this meant sacrificing the life of the people.

Achillès was a great warrior, if only he set aside hi pride, things would turn out different. He was a mighty warrior Which made him to be proud. Now that Agamemnon asked help from him he became prouder.
As a king, he should have thought of what is good for the people and his men. louis XIV, even paid "a, if i were not a king, I should lose my temper" That only tells that kings are not supposed to lose their tempers. As a ruler , decisions made must be for the better and not influenced by temper. According to Fold Trick, Decisions made in anger are never sound. If only he broke free from his anger, they could have won the battle easily.
