Read the following text from a novel. This excerpt is about Achilles and Agamemnon. Because he was turned, Agamemnon did not see Achilles' hand go to his sword. My breath caught. I knew that he was capable of this, a single thrust through Agamemnon's cowardly heart. I saw the struggle on his face. I still do not know why he stopped himself; perhaps he wanted greater punishment for the king than death. "Agamemnon," he said. I flinched from the roughness of his voice. The king turned, and Achilles drove a finger into his chest. The high king could not stop the huff of surprise. "Your words today have caused your own death, and the death of your men. I will fight for you no longer. Without me, your army will fall." From Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles: A Novel.
