Late Excussed Iliad assignment

A question i have for the Iliad is what does Phoenix have to do in the story?

My opinion didn't really change after reading this section because i think he is the same Achilles i read about in the first chapter. He has more anger in his heart because of Agamemnon. I understand him because Agamemnon did give him good reasons to get mad at him. He took his prize that he eraned and the prize was even given to him by the Greeks.

This are examples of persuasive language in the Illiad:
Achilles:When he talks to the men Agamemnon send he tells them that he is not going to help him because he did a lot of harm to him. This is appeal to emotion because it is ovious that he is not fighting for him because he dislikes him.

Phoenix: When he tell Achilles that he is being disrespectful to his familly by not fighting for the Greeks. This is appeal to ethic.
