However, he does not realize that his withdrawal from the army has created an intense feeling, just like the one he feels for the loss of Patroklos. By analyzing the character of Achilles in the Iliad, Homer brilliantly personifies the river god whom he describes as a conflict between two beings. However, the personification is a dramatic illustration of a man caught in a flood, while at the same time being a vivid description of a man caught in a flood, while fighting for his life. The poem creates more meaning and becomes more influential when the reader creates it in their mind, while taking in deep tree debris, rough rocks, and strong waves crashing against Achilles. Achilles' rage overcomes him after the death of Patroklos. He tries to take revenge on all the Trojans for the death of his companion by punishing them. He plans to deny them Hector's funeral rites and throw his body into a trash heap.
