Why Achilles and Agamemnon argued?
Agamemnon wanted Achilles' girl (called Briseis) but Achilles refused, and was about to kill Agamemnon in anger, but a goddess stopped him, saying that killing him wouldn't solve anything, so instead he said he would leave the war - stop fighting, and that Agamemnon ould have the girl but would regret it later.
How did Achilles react to Agamemnon?
He acted like a child. After hearing that his concubine, Chryseis, needed to be returned to her father (the priest of Apollo) Agamemnon's basic response was that if he had to suffer the loss of a concubine, that Achilles should lose his too. When Achilles became irate over this loss and refused to continue fighting, Agamemnon showed him the door claiming that he could still win without Achilles. Only the death of Achilles's close friend Patroklos inspired Achilles to fight for the Greeks again.
