Achilles, the Eagle, and burning Australia

We need to own our votes, past and future. We need to ponder Achilles owning his actions and consequences.
A famous Libyan fable says to those who’d learn,
that, when an eagle saw an arrow strike it through,
equipped with plumes to speed the missile to its mark,
said “not by others, but by feathers we have made
are we now slain”
Achilles in “The Myrmidons” by Aeshylus
on learning Patroclus died warning armour borrowed from Achilles
