The religious worldview that the mortals share in the Iliad is one of fear and awe of the gods and goddesses. Any of their thoughts and actions can be called into check by the various gods and goddesses and rarely do the mortals dare to disobey the wisdom of the divinities. But when they do, the divinities show their power. The communal ethics of the mortals seems to hold honor and custom in high regard. Within these communal ethics though their exists room for those who hold power to act by their own individual morals. Some of these morals are not so ethical as seen with Agamemnon and his vow to keep Achilles' desired girl away from him. When Achilles vows to take revenge on Agamemnon for his insult he is breaking his own moral of self-control seeing to it that most Greeks hold reason and logic in high regard as well. When Athena intervenes, Achilles yields to the demands of the goddess.
