What does Nestor tell Telemachus about Agamemnon Menelaus and Odysseus?

Answer 1

Nestor tells Achilles and Agamemnon that it is sad to see the Greeks divided and that they should pay attention to his wise words. He tells Achilles that he should not think he can fight against a king and that Agamemnon is greater than he is because he rules over more people. He then tells Agamemnon that even though he is powerful, he should not take Briseis because the Greeks gave her to Achilles as his prize of honor.

Answer 2

Achilles says that even in times of sorrow, one must take care of one's own body. He suggests that Priam should eat and sleep. Achilles uses the story of Niobe to demonstrate this point. Niobe's children were shot by Artemis and Apollo because Niobe claimed she was better than Leto, Artemis and Apollo's mother, since she had 14 children and Leto only had 2. But Niobe still ate and slept after the death of all of her children.
