Thetis goes to see her son and tells him Zeus expects
him to return to Priam Hector's body, he accepts
Iris visits Priam, and the old king is persuaded
To take Achilles treasures for which Hector can be traded
He must go to the Argives' camp with just one other man
Zeus sends down an eagle to prove this is a good plan
Hermes helps them get into the camp, the sentries sleep
Priam begs Achilles for his son's corpse, both men weep
Achilles gets the body and lets Priam take it back
He promises for twelve days the Achaeans won't attack
Hector can be buried in a way that brings him glory
And so, with Hector's funeral, it's time to end this story!
