Iliad page 230-245 

Achilles wants Calchas to give over the prophesy even if it’s not a good one but Calchas wants a promise that Achilles will protect him as long as he’s alive from anyone. The prophecy was that god is sending trouble to everyone similar to oedipus story because Achilles took a woman as ransom and doesn’t want to return her back. Achilles mother comes to Achilles and tries to comfort him and asks him why he’s sad and he tells her that there’s a battle going on and asks her to go speak to Zeus to try to put a peaceful end to it. King Agamemnon returns the daughter of Chryses so that the troubles can come to an end. Hera saw Zeus talking to a man even though they had a bad feeling about Hera seeing them talking outside.
