Iliad

iliad important please

,"Achilles is a man who comes to live by and for violence "(lawell 115). When engages in fighting, "his attacks against theTROJANS are unnecessarily brutal and pitiless", as he succumbs to a lust for vengeance. Achilles tells his troops one morning to go to battle immediately. Odysseus mentions that the men should eat before going. Achilles becomes enraged by saying,"I have no test for food . . . What I really brave is slaughter and blood and the choking groans of men!" To Achilles, nothing is better than killing someone and seeing them suffer

WHAT ACHILLUES MENTION ABOUT HIS WORDS ( I HAVE NO FEST FOR FOOD..) what does this word tell us ??

THANKS

I think you are referring to the line, "I have no taste for food". Achilles wants to go into battle, he does not want to eat.
