What made Achilles get back into the Trojan War?
Achilles and his Myrmidons were the best warriors in Greece at that time. After the falling out with Agamemnon (who took Achilles' concubine after his had to be returned to the Trojans), and Achilles' subsequent refusal to enter the battle, the Greeks didn't win a single engagement. The Greeks had been beaten back to their ships, which were in danger of being destroyed (which would leave the Greeks at the mercy of the Trojans), so Patroclus, his longtime friend and companion, convinced Achilles to let him wear Achilles' armor and lead the Myrmidons into battle. Achilles agreed, but ordered Patroclus to break off the attack once the ships were no longer in danger. But in the heat of battle, Patroclus ignored the command and he fought the Tojans back to the city gates where he was killed by Hector (who assumed he was fighting Achilles). He had killed 53 Trojans that day. Achilles, in anger, both at Hector and himself, Achilles challenged the Trojan prince to single combat, which Achilles won and then continued to lead the Myrmidons and the Achaeans to victory, ultimately dying at the hand of Paris. After the King and Achilles decided they couldn't settle their arguement, one of Achilles's closest friends stole his armor and rode into battle pretending to be Achilles. After he was killed in battle, Achilles felt he needed to avenge his fallen friend.

Why does Achilles leave battle?
Achilles leaves the battle in Homer's Iliad due to a conflict with King Agamemnon over a captured woman named Briseis. Achilles feels dishonored when Agamemnon takes Briseis from him, which leads to his decision to withdraw from the fighting and seek retribution.
What does agamemnon do to offend Achilles?
Agamemnon takes Achilles' war prize, Briseis, ater Agamemnon was forced to give back his own prize, Chryseis. He was forced to return Chryseis because of a plague that Apollo sent against the Greeks for refusing to allow Chryseis to be ransomed to her father. Achilles wants to kill Agamemnon because he is a pompous, power-hungry man who believes that no one except for him should get the spoils of war. Achilles' "Prize" (A woman whom was captured in the first battle in Troy) was taken from him by Agamemnon and Agamemnon was using her for his own pleasure and then threw her to the Men like a piece of meat to the bulldogs. After that, Achilles declares that he will kill him. Improve: Also it is about Achilles' pride as a warrior and his love for Briseis that makes him threaten Agamemnon to leave the war and with Agamemnons actions and brutish language (in order to gain the power his has back) he dismisses Achilles. Agamemnon "But here is a threat: in the same way as Phoesbus Apollo is robbing me of Chryseis, whom I propose to send off in my ship with my crew, I will come in person to your hut and take away fair-cheeked Brieseis, your prize, Achilles, to let you know how far I am your superior and to teach others to shrink from claiming parity with me and playing the equal to my face." (Book 1 lines 183-189) Achilles does not actually threaten to kill Agamemnon Athene comes down from Olympus and stops him.

What is learnt about the characters Agamemnon and Achilles in Book 1?
We, as an audience, find out different aspects of each of these character's personalities in Book 1. During the assembly that Achilles calls, he calls for a seer to be summoned to see why Apollo is angry and has sent them the plague, illustrating his desire for things to be put right. Agamemnon is resentful at being told what to do, showing his need to remain in control. Achilles speaks directly to Agamemnon calling him greedy, showing that he has no respect for the King after dishonouring him (Agamemnon has distributed the prizes, that the army has won, unequally, according to Achilles. He is their best fighter and thus demands more rewards than the other fighters, but Agamemnon refuses). Achilles then tells his leader that it would be in their best interests to give back the girl, Chryseis to her father and accept the ransom offered by him. He promises that he and his men will over-reward Agamemnon for this deed, if he would just see it through. Achilles speaks of Gods while referring to this, emphasising the importance of the situation and his deeper respect for them than Agamemnon. Agamemnon refuses to go back on what he has already decided, regarding Chryseis, in fear that it will make him look like a weak leader, but in fact, it would be quite the opposite. Agamemnon gives an insecure speech, but tries too hard maintain his status. He jumps to conclusions, accusing Achilles of tricking him into giving the girl back, so he can keep his own, Briseis, safe. However, this is not strictly true. Achilles proceeds to insult his leader more, calling him self centred and a swine. He tells him that he didn't even want to come to fight as he had no grudge against the Trojans, but only came to gain glory for Agamemnon, as did the rest of their army. He tells him that he has been cheated out of his booty as he does all the fighting and doesn't get any larger reward than the others for his bravery and also Agamemnon takes the most of it for himself. Achilles becomes a little melodramatic and declares that he will return home, leaving the army without his help. Agamemnon replies patronisingly that he should leave, then and can do without him (which he obviously can't). He suddenly leaps to his last resort of trying to maintain a higher status than Achilles, attempting to reprimand him in front of the whole army, declaring that he will take away his prize. But this is showing his desperation as he is not quite in control. Athena intervenes, just when Achilles is about to kill Agamemnon, and instead of killing the King, Achilles proceeds to insult him, emphasising his respect for the Gods. But he pushes his luck with Agamemnon, and tells him that he will regret having hurt his pride and wishes the Greek army to fall by Hector's hand. We learn that Achilles is not afraid to escalate the situation in defending his honour.
