"Unveiling the Untold: Discover the Enigmatic Lost Sequels of The Iliad That Could Rewrite History!"

If you haven’t read the Iliad, I’ll help you out this one time with a very condensed version, and unlike the rest of the Cycle, you can read the Iliad if you want to. Chryseis’ father comes to the Achaeans and begs for his daughter back. Agamemnon turns him away and in despair the priest prays to Apollo to give him his daughter back. Apollo unleashes a plague on the Achaeans. Having had enough, they petition Agamemnon to give Chryseis up. Not wanting his reputation damaged, Agamemnon agrees only if he takes Achilles’ prize from the same raids, Briseis. Achilles is forced to give her up, and Achilles isolates himself and begins to sulk, and sulk hard. He prays to his mother to punish the Achaeans so they see his value. The tide of war turns on the Achaeans and they begin to lose. Eventually Agamemnon is willing to give Briseis back to Achilles, but that’s not good enough for him. Instead, Achilles sends his closest friend Patroclus on the battlefield wearing his armor. Paris’ brother and crown prince of Troy Hector kills Patroclus and takes the armor for himself. Achilles is finally ready to go into battle to avenge his friend. He kills Hector, and rides around with Hector’s corpse dragging behind his chariot. King Priam goes to Achilles and begs him to let him have Hector’s remains for a proper burial. Achilles has post murder clarity and realizes Priam is just a father that wants to bury his son. He lets Priam have Hector’s body and the war continues.
