The wrath of Achilles can be seen as both justified and excessive. On one hand, his anger is fueled by a deep sense of honor and betrayal after Agamemnon takes Briseis, his prize of war. This personal affront resonates with the warrior culture of ancient Greece, where honor and reputation are paramount. However, Achilles' refusal to fight leads to devastating consequences for his comrades, suggesting that while his feelings are understandable, the extent of his wrath ultimately brings tragedy to himself and his allies.
Oh honey, Achilles was as justified as a cat in knocking over a vase. Agamemnon done him dirty by taking his girl, so of course he was gonna throw a hissy fit and sit out of battle. Can you blame him? Men and their egos, I tell ya.

Hector was defeated by Achilles in a state of wrath. Then he took his body tied it to his horse and started making circles around his friend's grave (Patroclus).
Hector doesn't heed King Priam's words. He felt a sense of duty to protect his home and his family. When the Greeks reach the walls of Troy, Hector goes into battle with Achilles--knowing that his wrath could not be subsided by words of kindness and forgiveness. Because he lead the Trojans, Achilles felt that it was his fault that the Greeks prematurely won the war.
