Loved This Excerpt from The Iliad

Never have I had a plunder like your own from any Trojan stronghold battered down by the Akhaians. I have seen more action hand to hand in those assaults than you have, but when the time for sharing comes, the greater share is always yours. Worn out with battle I carry off some trifle to my ships Well, this time I make sail for home. Better to take now to my ships. Why linger, cheated of winnings to make wealth for you? -Achilles speaking to Agamemnon Sort of reminds me how we were all called heroes and busted our asses while higher ups took the lion’s share of profits as usual.
