The Iliad - Book 2. Jove sends a Lying dream to Agamemnon, saying he could take Troy if he attacks now. Agamemnon wakes up from the dream, happy that he can finally conquer Troy. After meeting with his council of elders at Nestor’s ship, he talks to his troops. Instead of telling them that he got a sign from the gods of victory and that they should attack, he says the opposite: that the gods asked them to return. To his dismay, the army is ready to return after 9 years of war. Ulysses and Nestor jump in and inspire the troops, and they decide to not return and prepare to attack.
