In Homer's "Iliad," Hermes advises Priam to approach Achilles humbly and plead for the return of his son Hector's body. He emphasizes the importance of appealing to Achilles' sense of compassion and honor, urging Priam to acknowledge Achilles' grief and share in the sorrow of loss. Hermes reassures Priam by guiding him safely through the Greek camp and reminding him that even great warriors can be moved by the pain of others.
