As a result, it motivates Achilles to return to battle and swear revenge on the Trojans, especially Hector. Of course, Zeus, who was revered for his ability to act and his successes, will now be overshadowed by Achilles who will soon enter the battle and ultimately win all the glory. Zeus wishes to experience human mortality and therefore arranges this whole ordeal for Achilles to overshadow him in glory, which will then destroy his relevance. As a result, Zeus will experience human mortality, albeit metaphorically. On the contrary, human beings die through actual death, which is the only way to bring them closer to their primitive desire for immortality. For example, Achilles is informed of his fate by his mother, Thetis, as indicated by the following passage: "If I stand here and lay siege to Troy, /My journey home is done, but my glory never dies" (9.500 .504 ). In fact, Achilles remains to decimate the Trojans in battle to gain glory. However, death will loom over his head for that period of time, and when Achilles meets his fate, he will be eternally glorified. Although Achilles is physically dead, his achievements remain and will roar throughout the long future, making him as immortal as the gods, in a sense. In short, the difference in fate between Gods and humans allows them to experience death while still achieving their goals
