I was talking to Zeus before the council. Hector challenged a Greek to a duel, and Menelaos stepped forward, but Agamemnon pulled him back, after some debate  he goes against Ajax. These two fight through the entire day, and exchange gifts at the end of the day, since they evenly matched. Everyone eventually agrees to take the next day off to collect the dead. After returning to the camp, the Greeks build a wall around their camp to keep Trojans out. Zeus told us to stay out of the war, and the battle for the day begins. After some fighting, Hera starts begging me to come down and save the day, I'm not stupid enough to go down there. She and Athena did, but came right back up to Olympus after Zeus threatened them; however, Hera pleads with him to send Patroklos to Troy. The Trojans plan to chase the Greeks back to their ships. Agamemnon decides to have Odysseus, Phoinix and Ajax to plead with him and have a long list of gifts that Agamemnon will give to him if he returns. Achilles refuses despite the pleading.

I can't believe that the Greeks would build a wall that could out-build my own that the Trojans use. But I'm not certainly not stupid enough to go down there, I don't want to be cast down from Olympus again. But Achilles doesn't have to be so stubborn about the whole thing, just join the fighting and get this over with.
