When Achilles refused to take part in the war he dressed like woman and hid among the daughters of a family. Odysseus suspected something and came to this family as a seller of jewelry and weapons. All the girls flocked around the jewelry, but Achilles was only interested in the weapons, which gave him away.

It was never discovered, it has been a continuous part of Western Culture since it's composition some 800 years before Christ. It immediately spread throught the Greek world and became as much of a cultural touchstone to them as The Bible is to us. The Greeks spread all through the dominions of Alexander the great and, as the became a profound cultural influence on Rome, to the Western Roman dominions. No Roman of the imperial period, or even the lat erepublic, would consider himself educated if he had not memorized large parts of both poems, if not there entireties. When the Roman Empire fell, the works of Homer were two books which were not lost in the ensuing chaos but indeed became the basis for education in the Dark Ages. They have always been there, always informing our defdinition of ourselves, even when we did not know it.

Brave is possessing or exhibiting courage or courageous endurance. Achilles He was very brave because his mother knew that her son, Achilles was to die in a war. But even though he knew of this knowledge, he still went into the Trojan war, despite this fact, and heroically died in battle. He was a magnificent warrior who had no fears and only had the goal to win the war set upon his path.
