Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Jove fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another

Tell us of Achilles anger that has caused many hardships for the Achaens. Many men were sent to Hades, and many brave men were killed by the enemy. We were warned that this would happen, by our counselors, since King Atreus and Achilles first had a disagreement.

This is just a poem about the gods. Basically its telling about a goddess that is as angry as death and two other gods either are born or die. i can't tell though. i hope that helps you out!

It would help if you had posted the translation you are using. Depending on which one it is there should be footnotes and/or endnotes.
