Quotes 

• Ulysses : Greetings, fellow pirates.

  Agamemnon : This is a righteous war we plan, Ulysses. A war of defense aggression.

  Ulysses : A very neat sort of righteousness.

• Agamemnon : We cannot plan without Achilles of Thessaly. But, he hates my brother and me so much, I doubt...

  Ulysses : He hates you almost as much as he loves war. In fact, in order to lock himself from all temptation of joining with us, he hid himself securely - in a house of women.

  [laughs] 

  Ulysses : That's where I found him! Hiding from all persuasion - dressed as a woman.

  Menelaus : Did you persuade him?

  Ulysses : Oh yes, he's here, at the stables, seeing to the care of his horses.

  Agamemnon : Achilles! A blushing girl!

  Menelaus : I shall commend him for the beauty of his face and figure.

• Achilles : Take your hands off her!

  Ulysses : What's this? A warrior commanding his commander?

  Achilles : She's mine, Agamemnon!

  Agamemnon : Great as you are, I'm still your Chieftain. Protector of all the spoils of war. Take her to my quarters.

  Achilles : Agamemnon, if you take this girl, I shall stay home.

  Agamemnon : Then, fly, mighty warrior, fly!

• Agamemnon : I'd like your friend Achilles with us. In case they prove to be troublesome.

  Patroclus : He still refuses to fight. So long as you're in command and your lovesick jackass of a brother breathes upon this beach.
