And the answer is:
-
you can do that because you're both kings.
-
There is nothing out of line in the sense of violating
-
some kind of a real rule of the society,
-
but it's not typical,
-
and especially since Agamemnon has this position as the boss,
-
the most kingly of the kings. That's a word that Homer uses of him,
-
Basileutatos, the most kingly,
-
and that's because of his position.
-
So, Achilles is not doing anything sort of illegal or unconstitutional,
-
but he's doing something that's really out of line
-
from a normal point of view.
