Achilles was angry at Agamemnon for taking his war prize - a girl named Briseus, and he wanted to get back at him, so he refused to fight. He also wanted the Greeks to realize they couldn't win a battle without him. He knew that when they came to ask him to return to battle, he would obtain more glory and honor for fighting, because they couldn't do it without him.
