Grammar

We need to change the pronouns to make them coincide with the person they refen to. Achilles is talking about himself, so we use he in the reported sentence, instead of I.

Note that in reported speech we often move the tense back one step into the past so that, in the example, willnot fight becomes wouldn't fight.

Also, we can often omit that when it is followed by a subject pronoun. For example: Achilles said (that) he wouldn't fight for Agamemnon.
