More drama.

Polites told me that there was some kind of blow-out today between Achilles and Agamemnon. -Rumor has it that it was over some girl.

I have a hard time believing that this is true. To be honest, I can’t imagine any girl torn between those two. Agamemnon might be Commander-in-Chief, but there is no kind way to describe his looks. On the other hand, Achilles has to fight the girls off. I swear to Zeus, it looks like a goddamned holiday parade when the guy goes to pick up his laundry. -That guy has never had to work for tail.

Well, whatever the reason, it is true that Achilles and the Big Chief got into a tussle today. Polites saw it himself.

Polites was cooking lunch when he saw Achilles come storming out of the commander’s camp, followed closely by Agamemnon. The Commander was shouting and cursing, and Polites swears that Agamemnon called Achilles a pussy. -I refuse to believe it.

Anyway, I guess that Achilles finally wheels around and puts his hand on his hilt. At that, Agamemnon shut right up. Achilles then starts yelling at Agamemnon, tapping his finger repeatedly right on the Commander’s forehead!

By that point, quite a large crowd had gathered around. Polites says that he was actually shaking, things were so tense.

Anyway, Ajax then jumped in and tried to diffuse the situation. He got in-between Achilles and Agamemnon, and managed to separate the two.

To hear Polites tell it, with Ajax in the middle, Agamemnon got a whole lot braver again, and he started back up with cursing out Achilles.

At that, I guess Ajax gave the Commander a little shove. -That’s where things really got crazy.

Odysseus was walking up, and when he saw Ajax shove Agamemnon, he freaked. Grabbing Ajax by his armor, Odysseus swung him down into the dust.

Ajax then went completely ballistic, and he came up swinging on Odysseus.

Polites said at that point, the entire crowd looked like it was going to rush into the fray.

However, I guess that Diomedes, the Argosian General, got in there pretty quick and recruited Achilles to help hold the crowd back.

Achilles and Diomedes then managed to break up Ajax and Odysseus.

Polites said that Agamemnon then started shouting that he was going to hang anyone that didn’t disperse. -That’s how it ended.

-Odysseus stopped in a little while ago to drop off more paperwork. It looks like he is going to have a pretty good shiner, but I didn’t dare ask him about it.
