Okay most of my other points were completely wrong for this thread, and even though they made me want to kill people (more for the way they were presented in the movie than the basis in the Iliad, as aberkok noted), four was addressed in the movie. Hector tried to convince them to keep defensive, since there was dissent between the other Greeks and Achilles' guys, then the king's priest said something about a hawk and a snake in its talons, so the king decided to attack instead.
