Relationship Between Achilles And Odysseus

Odyssey “No man, Achilles, has ever been as blessed as you, or will be. While you were alive the army honored you like a god, and now that you are here you rule the death with might. You should not lament your death at all, Achilles.” Achilles “Don’t try to sell me on death, Odysseus. I’d rather be a hired hand back up on earth, slaving away for some poor dirt farmer, than lord it over all these withered dead.” Odyssey is trying to glorify the hero Achilles, telling him that he should not complain about his death because he’s respected by all the dead soul. But Achilles did not share the same point of view. He rather slaves on earth for another man than rule down over all the breathless dead.

Have you ever known anyone who committed suicide? It’s a scary thought, and yet I would bet that most people at least know someone who knows someone who decided to end their own life. Perhaps this thought hits close to home for many of you. Perhaps you’ve even entertained such thoughts of your own. You might think that death will take away your pain but from the above conversation between Odyssey and Achilles death will not solve your problems. No matter how life can be harsh sometimes it’s better to go through the pain find a way to solve it than to end your life.
