  • We watched this in school.

  • @LaMOi1 I think it is because he´s born as a mortal and understands: the fate of mortals is to stay mortal. He has a wife & son whom he had not seen for manay years. His life was exciting: he fought in a big war & won it with his courage & wits. He had survived hardships & outsmarted many foes, e.g. the Cyclops.

    He knows that life is only worth if you live it to the fullest. And immortalitiy means: losing this ability.

    Better a mortal yet exciting life, than an eternal & boring one.

    That´s why.
