Description
Achilles is often depicted as the Great Hero of the Trojan War, but he was in reality a youth, a mama's boy, who really did buy into the whole "Mom made me immortal!" story. He was a temperamental child, who threw a temper tantrum when Agamemnon took his prize, Briseus, away--he refused to fight, and the Greek army took serious losses because of it.
