The Achaeans

The Achaeans were a tribe of people featured in Homer's The Iliad and The Odyssey who occupied the area around the Peloppenese Islands during the Golden Age of Greek culture. Odysseus, Agamemnon, and Achilles were all Achaeans, who had their own smaller tribes and respective cities, such as Odysseus' Ithaca. The Achaeans led a war for the trading rights of the city/Helen of Troy, which was featured in the Iliad. The Achaeans are also known for their crying bouts and insatiable desire to anger The Gods.
