    The Iliad

    Book 9: A Visit From the Emissaries

    Overview from Book 8

    Agamemnon hosts a gathering where they agree to ask Akhilleus for help.

    They send Phoinix, Aias and Odysseus.

    They make the offer but Akhilleus refuses.

    Phoinix is shocked and says he cannot accept it. (He then tells 2 stories)

    Phoinix tells Akhilleus to accept the offer while it still stands

    Akhilleus refuses

    He asks Phoinix to spend the night in his tent
