神话故事有里阿摩斯与阿喀琉斯的英雄相遇
当夜幕降临，阿喀琉斯仍旧无法安然入睡，他的心中充满了对被安葬的朋友的思念。第二天清晨，他牵着战马，把赫克托耳的遗体拖到帕特洛克罗斯的墓前围绕三圈。阿波罗以金盾遮挡，保护不让他的身体受到损伤。阿喀琉斯驾车，将遗体丢在一旁，然后离开了。
奥林匹斯山上的神都对此情景感到愤怒，只有赫拉例外。她命令宙斯派使者去找寻阿喀琉斯的母亲忒提斯，并告诉她说：“宙斯和其他神都非常愤怒于你肆意对待赫克托耳的遗体，不让其被赎回。”
忒提斯听从了宙斯的话语，来到了儿子的帐篷，对他温柔地说：“亲爱的儿子，你为什么这样悲伤和叹息，不吃不喝？这会折磨你多久？”然后，她继续道：“听着，我要告诉你宙斯特的事情。他和其他神都很生气，因为你的行为，以及你把他的尸体扣留在船上。”她的声音里充满了关心，“我儿子，你应该考虑一下赎金，让他们带走尸体。”
就在这个时候，宙斯特又派出使者伊里丝来到普里阿摩斯王宫中传达神们的声音。她看到整个特洛伊城的人们悲痛欲绝，便悄悄地走向国王面前，说出了这些话：“我的主啊，请不要失望！我给您带来了好消息。虽然您的儿子已经死去，但依然可以得到尊严般的一次告别。”接着，她补充道：“请您一个人前往丹内亚人营地，用丰厚礼物赎回您的儿子的尸身。不必担心，有勇敢无畏之士——赫耳墨斯将保护您！”
普里阿摩斯相信女神的话，一切准备就绪后，他自己进入珍宝室，从中挑选了一些最珍贵的事物：十二件精美锦袍、十二幅地毯、同样数量的地衣与披风，还有一打黄金十泰伦特、一套炊鼎、三足鼎以及来自色雷西人的那只宝贵酒杯。
国王转而责问那些试图劝阻他的人，“你们怎么能在家中闲暇时光，却非要在这里增加我的悲哀呢？”随后，他转向自己的孩子说，“如果你们是真正勇敢的人，那么代替我死去的是更好的选择！现在剩下的是废物！” sons, who were worried about their father's decision, reluctantly obeyed his command.
With the precious gifts and a loyal old advisor by his side, King Priam set off on his journey to reclaim the body of his beloved son. As they approached the camp of Achilles, they came across a group of soldiers taking dinner. The gods had intervened once more; with a wave of Hermes' hand, the soldiers fell asleep and the gates opened automatically for Priam's chariot.
Upon arriving at Achilles' tent, Priam dismounted and entered alone. He found Achilles sitting in silence beside Patroclus' grave. Without being noticed by anyone else in the camp, he approached Achilles and fell to his knees before him. "Oh mighty Achilles," he begged tearfully, "remember your father Peleus! I too have suffered greatly at my own hands."
Achilles was moved by Priam's words and gently released him from their embrace. He looked into those worn eyes filled with sorrow and said: "You are indeed a man of great courage."
