	Nestor’s place in the Iliad was important because he is a wise counselor, and because he motivates the plot. Nestor is the King of Pylos and the oldest Achaean commander. He is the wise old man who only Odysseus equals in his ability to bring order out of disorder. The Greeks believed that an elder man knew more, and here, the Achaeans listened to the wisdom that old Nestor has gained through age. Nestor’s digressive tails frequently motivate a character to perform some necessary action or reveal relevant cultural ideas. His tales are usually paradigmatic (showing parallels by examples) and serve as examples in present situations. Consequently, Nestor’s tales and advice continue to challenge the young Greek men to live up to the heroic ideals that Nestor upheld in the past. He first attempts to settle the dispute between Achilles and Agamemnon. He then advises the Achaeans to build a wall, and afterward, to bury the dead. Next, he suggests the spy mission.
