    Google images says Priam kneeling before Achilles, begging for the body of Hector.

    Yes, King Priam supplicating Achilles for the body of his son Hector. After slaying Hector, Achilles drags the body around in front of the walls of Troy with his chariot. Priam wants to give it a proper burial. It appears to be based on the engraved gem that is captured in the Tassie impression on the left:
