- 22467: Achilles 2
- ... character earlier in the poem. I believe the most speculation about inconsistencies in Achilles character would center on his savageness towards the Trojans, especially Hektor, after the death of Patroklos, and his sensitivity towards Priam s plea for his son s body. It could be considered odd that Achilles is so understanding to Priam and the burial of Priam s son, when not that long ago Achilles was dragging the body of Hektor around the grave of Patroklos.
