Achilles is a G!
Well, the great hero Achilles refused to fight for the Achaeans (Greeks), so there lay our conflict. The epic is mostly about how the Achaean forces suffered countless losses because they didn't have the berserk Achilles behind them, slicing down men. And because Achilles is a one-of-a-kind warrior, they needed him. Then because he still refused to fight (something about his honor being wounded) his close friend wore his armour to fool the Trojans. Only problem? Patroclus (the friend) got himself killed by the Trojan hero Hector. So the new conflict is Achilles and his thirst for revenge against Hector. How that's resolved? Simple. Achilles kills Hector.
