We learn this war is in its ninth year.What do you think Agamemnon’s strategy was telling the soldiers they could go home?.Any thoughts on the dream sent to Agamemnon from Zeus? Why would a god send a dream instead of a command?.The Trojans amass and exit their gates for battle, and we learn where they’re from, and their leaders. Zeus sends goddess Iris to warn Hector of Troy. They amass, minus Achilles and his men, and we’re told of who they are, where they’re from, their leaders, and how many ships they brought. Odysseus and Nestor convince the men to stay, then Agamemnon convinces them to get ready for battle. Odysseus bops a dude who wouldn’t shut up and was insulting Agamemnon. Reverse psychology? The men go to leave until Athena convinces Odysseus to intervene and make them stay. Agamemnon tells his council this, but then tells all the soldiers there’s no point and they can go home. Zeus sends Agamemnon a dream that he’ll be able to take Troy if he attacks.
