"After battle, Achilles is trying to get his men to eat so they have the strength to fight again but they have lost so many men that they would rather mourn. He brings up Niobe, a woman that had lost twelve children but still found the strength to eat.[3] He is trying to counsel his men to do what he wants by using Niobe as a paradeigma, an example to counsel their behavior." This example is--ironically for an article about the use of examples--inaccurate. The passage of the Iliad to which it refers concerns Achilles advising his enemy Priam, who has come to collect his son Hektor's body, to eat; to convince him, he tells a version of the story of Niobe.
