Why was Achilles pouting in his tent like a child?

Achilles was pouting in his tent like a child due to his deep anger and resentment towards Agamemnon, who had taken his war prize, Briseis, as a form of dishonor. This act wounded Achilles' pride and sense of honor, leading him to withdraw from battle and sulk in his tent, refusing to fight for the Greek army. His emotional reaction highlights the themes of pride, honor, and personal grievance central to the narrative of the "Iliad."

Why did Achilles go into a sulk and refuse to fight during the Trojan war?

Agamemnon, principal chief of the gathered Greeks (as he was king of Mycenae and all of Achaea) took a woman named Chryseis as a slave. Her father, a priest of Apollo, praed for her return, so Apollo sent a plague among the Greeks. The prophet, Calchas, after being sworn protection by Achilles, told Agamemnon that Chryseis needed to be returned to end the plague. Agamemnon agreed, but also declared that Achilles' slave, Briseis be brought to him as a replacement. Achilles, raging over the dishonor (and because he loves Briseis), prays to his mother, Thetis, for Zeus to help the Trojans gain the upper hand.
