It appears that the question should be "what happens when Priam confronts Achilles?"
Priam was a man of gentleness and piety. In his old age he was looked upon as a man of sorrows because of the misfortunes that befell his city and his family for which he was powerless to avert disaster. He was looked upon then as worthy of pity and honor. When he went to see Achilles to ransom the body of Hector Achilles was moved to pity him and granted his request.
