Achilles is unhappy and he’s sulking in his cave
To prove he is a hero and to prove that he is brave
But just in case the other Greeks could win without his help
He summons up his mother, a sea goddess, from the kelp
“Mummy”, whines Achilles, “Go have a word with Zeus,
Tell him to help the Trojans and make sure the Greeks will lose”

Anyone familiar with the full-length Iliad may notice that I don't begin at the beginning of book one, omitting the argument between Agamemnon and Achilles over Briseis which causes Achilles to refuse to fight. However, the Iliad itself doesn't actually start at the beginning of the Trojan Wars but just leaps into the story half-way through, so all this is entirely in keeping with Homeric tradition.
