ZEUS-
Beginning around 700 B.C., stories by Homer and other Greek poets described the lives of powerful gods who involved themselves in human affairs. Supreme among these gods was Zeus, who inherited the heavens and earth after overthrowing his father, Cronus. Zeus ruled from Mt. Olympus, rewarding good and punishing evil (his most famous weapon was a thunderbolt) and manipulating human lives just to satisfy his own whims. He also liked the ladies, frequently dropping to earth for amorous adventures with nymphs and mortals. This was often a source of conflict with his wife, the powerful goddess Hera-.

Well - do your homework!! I used Spark Notes - so don't copy or your teacher will know!!! Achilles is anger because his captive Briseis has been taken away by Agamemnon, the leader of the Achaean forces. Achilles is insulted and refuses to fight in the war any longer. He vengefully yearns to see the Achaeans destroyed and asks his mother, the sea-nymph Thetis, to enlist the services of Zeus, king of the gods, toward this end. With Zeus supporting the Trojans and Achilles refusing to fight, the Achaeans suffer great losses. There are various duels between the Greek commanders and Trojan princes. The Trojans gain the upperhand and drive the Greeks back to their boats. Defeat seems imminent, because without the ships, the army will be stranded at Troy and almost certainly destroyed. Concerned for his comrades but still too proud to help them himself, Achilles agrees to allow his beloved friend Patroclus to take his place in battle by wearing his armor. Patroclus is a fine warrior, and the trick with the armour helps push the Trojans back. But the gods interfere. Apollo knocks Patroclus's armor to the ground, and Hector slays him. Both sides fight to claim the body and armor. Hector ends up with the armor, but the Greeks bring the body back to their camp. When Achilles discovers that Hector has killed Patroclus, he fills with such rage & grief & rage that he agrees to reconcile with Agamemnon and rejoin the battle. Finally, Achilles confronts Hector outside the walls of Troy. Hector refuses to flee inside the city with them. Achilles chases him around the city walls three times. In a dramatic duel, Achilles kills Hector. He then lashes the body to the back of his chariot and drags it across the battlefield. For the next nine days, Achilles drags Hector's body in circles around Patroclus's funeral bier. Finally, King Priam of Troy sneaks into the Greek camp and tearfully pleads with Achilles to return Hector's body. Deeply moved, Achilles finally relents and returns Hector's corpse to the Trojans. Both sides agree to a temporary truce, and Hector receives a hero's funeral.

This really isn't hard. You could go to Amazon and read the summary, look for cliff notes... or, at a stretch, you could take a couple of hours out of your day to read it.
