What was Achilles response to Hectors proper burial request in The Iliad?
First of all, it was the will of the gods. Apollo pleaded for Hector seeing that he was respectful of the gods, and Zeus agreed with him. Zeus then told Thetis, Achilles's mother, to tell Achilles to give the body back. But, Achilles was also moved by Priam's speech and actions when he sneaks into the Greek camp in the middle of the night.
What is the relationship between Achilles and priam?
It is the gods which inspire Priam to seek Achilles. Zeus holds yet another meeting discussing Achilles irrational behavior. They argue but decide to return Hektor's body to Priam for a proper burial. When Priam visits Achilles in Book XXIV, it is evident that, up until this point, Achilles has been consumed by irrational feelings of anger, ego, and unjust pride. Now, Priam appeals to Achilles emotional intelligence, appearing as the father of Hektor and not as the King of Troy. He asks Achilles to remember his own father- suggesting that a father's wish is to see his son treated with the respect he deserves. Achilles is compassionate. He remembers the "vision" of Patroklos, looking inside himself and understanding Priam's pain and anguish. This adds to the psychological component of the book. Achilles is aware of himself in a more humane way- he is sympathetic to Priam. His uncontrolled anger has subsided and he has reached a state of enlightenment and personal development.
