Odysseus was charged by Agamemnon to convince Achilles to go to war. Achilles impersonated a woman at the behest of his mother, to whom it had been prophesied that Achilles would either live a long, uneventful life or a short, glorious one. Odysseus presented the women among whom Achilles was hid with a bounty of gifts, among which where placed a few weapons. After observing one of the women taking an unusual interest in the weapons, Odysseus later sounded a battle horn, fooling Achilles into clutching for a weapon and revealing him to be the heroic soldier.
