Achilles and the Embassy

       I think that Achilles should have gone back to battle following the Embassy for Achilles. The Achaeans had broken morale, and needed a figure to look up to. this might have turned the battle in their favor, since the men were losing their vigor in battle. By letting his anger overcome him, he was letting down his nation, because he could do something to help them, but he refused. Also, Agamemnon offered him a lot of gifts to drop his anger and fight so I think that it was foolish not to take those and fight.
