Achilles in his tent

When a big member of anything refuses to work because of some petty dispute.

Achilles during the Trojan War, in the Illiad:
Agamemnon: BlahblahblahI'm king blahblahblah.
Achilles: Oh my Zeus shut up! *skulks off to tent*
Greeks:*die horribly*

"Jill and Jack couldn't agree on what color was the best, so Jill refused to participate in the PFD. What an Achilles in his tent!"
