What to talk about..... Okay. Got it. This is has been a very uninspired day. But not bad. Just not the same pissaz that I've had on others. Homer is a very exhausting writer. And I'm trying to find a new approach to these posts. How should I go about this? Now don't answer too quickly. I'll try taking some of my Dad's advice for today. Yippee Kai Ay Homer.
To start out, this chapter was pretty boring. It had more than enough whining and begging. Poor Agamemnon even cried! Then he tries way too hard to win over Achilles. You can read the list of gifts yourselves if you want to.
As you can probably guess, Achilles just flat out refuses. He basically tells them where Agamemnon can stick his scepter. (It would be a shame to put such a good scepter to waste like that.) And I thought modern men had pride issues. Then all the poor men that Agamemnon sent to ask Achilles have to go back empty handed. But at least Agamemnon is too depressed to whip them....or whatever an old Greek king would do if you failed him. Well...That's about it. Hold on a sec. They go to bed. OK. Now we're done.
That wasn't too bad. Let's see how it goes tomorrow.
