What is at the center of the conflict between Agamemnon and Achilles and how does each view the other?
Agamemnon took for himself a girl named Chryseis, the daughter of a priest of Apollo. Because he refused to return the girl to her father, the god released a plague on the camp of the Greeks. A visionary called Karchas advised him to return the girl, which was supported by Achilles. Agamemnon returned the girl, but then claimed Briseis instead, who was the girl chosen by Achilles. He did this to punish Achilles for his support to Karchas. Achilles then left the battle and did not return until his friend Patroclus was killed. This apparently meant he viewed Agamemnon with enough respect him that he would ask him to do something for the greater good and have a certain faith that it would be done; but also saw the taking of his own girl as a insult against him and was hurt by it. Agamemnon respected Achilles enough that at his death, he thought his armour worthy of Odysseus rather then Ajax.
