I believe that Homer is trying to tell Kavanagh that the people who were fighting over the piece of stony land felt that the fight was very important, even if Kavanagh didn't think much of it. The fight was important to them, but not to Kavanagh (in the Iliad, King Agamemnon and Achilles bickered and quarreled over a woman. Many people thought this was insignificant compared to the Trojan War occurring at the time). People chose what is important to them, even if others don't feel the same way (this explains "Gods make their own importance.").
