What does agamemnon do to offend Achilles?
Agamemnon takes Achilles' war prize, Briseis, ater Agamemnon was forced to give back his own prize, Chryseis. He was forced to return Chryseis because of a plague that Apollo sent against the Greeks for refusing to allow Chryseis to be ransomed to her father. Achilles wants to kill Agamemnon because he is a pompous, power-hungry man who believes that no one except for him should get the spoils of war. Achilles' "Prize" (A woman whom was captured in the first battle in Troy) was taken from him by Agamemnon and Agamemnon was using her for his own pleasure and then threw her to the Men like a piece of meat to the bulldogs. After that, Achilles declares that he will kill him. Improve: Also it is about Achilles' pride as a warrior and his love for Briseis that makes him threaten Agamemnon to leave the war and with Agamemnons actions and brutish language (in order to gain the power his has back) he dismisses Achilles. Agamemnon "But here is a threat: in the same way as Phoesbus Apollo is robbing me of Chryseis, whom I propose to send off in my ship with my crew, I will come in person to your hut and take away fair-cheeked Brieseis, your prize, Achilles, to let you know how far I am your superior and to teach others to shrink from claiming parity with me and playing the equal to my face." (Book 1 lines 183-189) Achilles does not actually threaten to kill Agamemnon Athene comes down from Olympus and stops him.
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 does Achilles intend to get even with agamenon for seizing Briseis?
Each Greek captain has been awarded a Trojan girl as his personal services slave following some earlier raids.Agamemnon has been awarded Chryseis, whom he is very fond of.But Chryseis' dad Chryses is a priest of Apollo. Chryses prays to Apollo for help, and Apollo - the god of infectious diseases - sends an epidemic into the Greek camp.Agamemnon must give back Chryseis - but this makes him look bad in front of the other Greek princes.So Agamemnon - the leader of the expedition - takes Briseis, the slave of Achilles (Achilles is the Greeks' greatest warrior).Achilles knows he cannot resist Agamemnon (civil war among the Greeks would mean a rapid death for all of them) but he announces that he will no longer fight for the Greek cause.Without their greatest warrior the Greeks are in serious trouble:Achilles' wrath - to Greece the direful springOf woes unnumber'd - heav'nly Goddess sing.
