Chapter 2 - Zeus sends Agamemnon a dream that he’ll be able to take Troy if he attacks. Agamemnon tells his council this, but then tells all the soldiers there’s no point and they can go home. Reverse psychology? The men go to leave until Athena convinces Odysseus to intervene and make them stay. Odysseus bops a dude who wouldn’t shut up and was insulting Agamemnon. Then everyone clapped. Odysseus and Nestor convince the men to stay, then Agamemnon convinces them to get ready for battle. They amass, minus Achilles and his men, and we’re told of who they are, where they’re from, their leaders, and how many ships they brought. Zeus sends goddess Iris to warn Hector of Troy. The Trojans amass and exit their gates for battle, and we learn where they’re from, and their leaders. Are you ready for a war?
