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.
