Achilles knows that by taking up the shield, the gods will protect him.


Achilles knows that by taking up the shield, he honors Patroclus.

Answer 1

The ideas that convince Achilles are the possibility of destroying the city of Troy with his shield and the will to honor Patroclus.

Why didn't Achilles want to use the shield?

• Because he was quarreling with Agamemnon.
• Because he didn't want to risk his life.
• Because he didn't want to get involved in wars.

Agamemnon was being hunted by the Trojans and his defeat was imminent unless his former friend Achilles used the powerful shield he had to destroy Troy. However, a fight between them made Achilles unwilling to help him and needed to be convinced by Patroclus to get involved in the war.
