Question:

I really need some serious help here. Does anyone know anything about The Iliad, Book XXIV ?

I have read this stuff 3 times and i am very stuck. If anyone could help would be greatly appreciated.
1. What is at stake in the confrontation between Priam and Achilles in The Iliad, Book XXIV? What ethical, religious, and cultural ideas come into play in this section of the poem? How familiar or foreign do you find the many extreme emotional reactions portrayed in the exchange between Priam and Achilles?
