Question

Answer 1

Answer:

B.He wants to become famous for his battlefield accomplishments so that his name will be remembered forever

Explanation:

Achilles who was the greatest warrior of his time chose to join King Agamemnon and his allies in the battle of Troy, not because of revenge or because of his obedience to the King, but because of his quest for glory and fame.

When Achilles was nine years old, it was prophesied that he would die in battle as a hero against the Trojans, and even though his mother did her best to avert this prophecy, Achilles chose to go for glory, even though he knew it would cost him his life.
