An intriguing beginning as the first ancient classic I have begun to read. Book 1: The daughter of a powerful priest is captured by the Achaeans, but is then returned due to Apollo, sparking animosity and a powerful argument between Achilles and his superior, Agamemnon. Achilles prays to his mother, Thetis, who relays to Zeus and comes to an agreement to aid Achilles. This causes issue with Hera, but Zeus dominates.
