Looks like I forgot to post yesterday, but I did listen to two more books.
Brief recaps:
Book 18: Achilles is pretty bummed at the death of his friend, and vows to avenge his death even though it means he will die in battle in turn. First, he makes sure to get Patroclus' body back from the Trojans so they can't feed it to dogs. Because he lent Patroclus his armor, he must find some new armor and his mother Thetis goes to Hephaestus in order to get some new armor made. Armor of the gods, woot.
Book 19: Time to go to war! But first, let's eat! Achilles is against the idea of eating, but Odysseus points out that the men need to eat or fighting in battle will be REALLY hard. Achilles still won't eat (though he agrees that the men can) so Zeus fills his stomach with nectar and ambrosia.
