Agamemnon sees Hector's death and immediately pivots to attack: 'their prince is dead, their army is leaderless — this is the time to attack.' The scene frames pure expediency as a kind of blindness. Achilles countermoves not from sentiment but from a larger calculation that includes the gods, the men, and the story being written about this war. The framework: short-term advantage often blinds leaders to long-term cost.
