Anyway, I think I was looking at it in a different light, but I can see why it’s not the best support.
I kind of eliminated it as an option, anyway.
The others I have are Achilles’ schpiel on life itself > glory (choosing a long obscure life over a short glorious one)
Alternative motives to fight, other than glory. i.e., death of Patroclus. Achilles was fighting because of rage, revenge… not for glory. Glory was a mere by-product. So, I can make the point that human bonds transcend the need for glory. Glory was indeed a result of Achille’s rage, but it was an example of a case where the war did more harm than good, and glory did not compensate for the loss of a loved one. Glory was not good enough.
And then I was gonna do the burial scene, to show that underneath the gore and bloodshed and quest for glory was a deep underlying respect for life and that death was regarded with the proper weight.
Eh?
