Tears in the Iliad

Throughout the Iliad there are approximately 33 times when tears are mentioned but there are only three occurrence that I can recall where people were crying: there is when Agamemnon is crying, Achilles after Patroclus’ death, and Achilles and Priam at the end (if my memory is correct).  The reason that I think this that the setting of the Iliad is on a battlefield and it is a common occurrence for people to be grieving for someone who was lost, but these three stood out because they were more meaningful than the rest.  When Agamemnon cried it was because he was disappointed because it was clear that without Achilles that they would lose the war, which is something that to most readers was clear from the beginning.  Then when Achilles cries for the death of Patroclus it is very emotional because of the connection that they had.  Then at the end when Achilles and Priam they both cry for similar reasons, Priam because of Hector and Achilles because he know his father will never see his body again.  All three of these invoke a strong emotional response because of the way they are portrayed through the text.
