Book 5
· As the battle rages, Pandarus wounds the Achaean hero Diomedes.
· Diomedes prays to Athena for revenge, and the goddess endows him with superhuman strength and the extraordinary power to discern gods on the field of battle. She warns him, however, not to challenge any of them except Aphrodite.
· Diomedes fights like a man possessed, slaughtering all Trojans he meets.
· When Aeneas’s mother, Aphrodite, comes to his aid, Diomedes wounds her too, cutting her wrist and sending her back to Mount Olympus.
· Aphrodite’s mother, Dione, heals her, and Zeus warns Aphrodite not to try her hand at warfare again.
· When Apollo goes to tend to Aeneas in Aphrodite’s stead, Diomedes attacks him as well. This act of aggression breaches Diomedes’ agreement with Athena, who had limited him to challenging Aphrodite alone among the gods.
· Apollo, issuing a stern warning to Diomedes, effortlessly pushes him aside and whisks Aeneas off of the field.
· Aiming to enflame the passions of Aeneas’s comrades, he leaves a replica of Aeneas’s body on the ground. He also rouses Ares, god of war, to fight on the Trojan side.
· With the help of the gods, the Trojans begin to take the upper hand in battle. Hector and Ares prove too much for the Achaeans; the sight of a hero and god battling side by side frightens even Diomedes.
· The Trojan Sarpedon kills the Achaean Tlepolemus. Odysseus responds by slaughtering entire lines of Trojans, but Hector cuts down still more Greeks. Finally, Hera and Athena appeal to Zeus ,who gives them permission to intervene on the Achaeans’ behalf.
· Hera rallies the rest of the Achaean troops, while Athena encourages Diomedes. She withdraws her earlier injunction not to attack any of the gods except Aphrodite and even jumps in the chariot with him to challenge Ares. The divinely driven chariot charges Ares, and, in the seismic collision that follows, Diomedes wounds Ares.
· Ares immediately flies to Mount Olympus and complains to Zeus, but Zeus counters that Ares deserved his injury.Athena and Hera also depart the scene of the battle.

Till Ican return to Troy and tell them all, the old counselors, all our wives, to pray to the gods and vow to offer them many splendid victims."”
· Theano(his mom) takes care of Hector, tries to give him wine, but Hector is like nooo I have to fight

· That night, the Trojans, confident in their dominance, camp outside their city’s walls, and Hector orders his men to light hundreds of campfires so that the Greeks cannot escape unobserved.

If I voyage back to the fatherland I love, my pride, my glory dies ... true, but the life that's left me will be long, the stroke of death will not come on me quickly.”

Book 11:
· The next morning, Zeus rains blood upon the Achaean lines, filling them with panic; they suffer a massacre during the first part of the day. But, by afternoon,they have begun to make progress.
· Agamemnon, splendidly armed, cuts down man after man and beats the Trojans back to the city’s gates.
· Zeus sends Iris to tell Hector that he must wait until Agamemnon is wounded and then begin his attack.
· Agamemnon soon receives his wound at the hands of Coon, Antenor’s son, just after killing Coon’s brother. The injured Agamemnon continues fighting and kills Coon, but his pain eventually forces him from the field.
· Hector recognizes his cue and charges the Achaean line, driving it back. The Achaeans panic and stand poised to retreat, but the words of Odysseus and Diomedes imbue them with fresh courage.
· Diomedes then hurls a spear that hits Hector’s helmet. This brush with death stuns Hector and forces him to retreat.
· Pari sanswers the Achaeans’ act by wounding Diomedes with an arrow, thus sidelining the great warrior for the rest of the epic.
· Trojans now encircle Odysseus, left to fight alone. He beats them all off, but not before a man named Socus gives him a wound through the ribs. Great Ajax carries Odysseus back to camp before the Trojans can harm him further.
· Hector resumes his assault on another part of the Achaean line. The Greeks initially hold him off, but they panic when the healer Machaon receives wounds at Paris’s hands. Hector and his men force Ajax to retreat as Nestor conveys Machaon back to his tent.
· Meanwhile, behind the lines, Achilles sees the injured Machaon fly by in a chariot and sends his companion Patroclus to inquire into Machaon’s status.
· Nestor tells Patroclus about all of the wounds that the Trojans have inflicted upon the Achaean commanders. He begs Patroclus to persuade Achilles to rejoin the battle—or at least enter the battle himself disguised in Achilles’ armor. This ruse would at least give the Achaeans the benefit of Achilles’ terrifying aura.Patroclus agrees to appeal to Achilles and dresses the wound of a man named Eurypylus, who has been injured fighting alongside Ajax.
Book 12
· We learn that the Achaean fortifications are doomed to be destroyed by the gods when Troy falls. They continue to hold for now, however, and the trench dug in front of them blocks the Trojan chariots.
· Undaunted, Hector, acting on the advice of the young commander Polydamas, orders his mento disembark from their chariots and storm the ramparts. Just as the Trojans prepare to cross the trenches, an eagle flies to the left-hand side of the Trojan line and drops a serpent in the soldiers’ midst.
· Polydamas interprets this event as a sign that their charge will fail, but Hector refuses to retreat.
· The Trojans Glaucus and Sarpedon now charge the ramparts, and Menestheus, aided by Great Ajax and Teucer, struggles to hold them back. Sarpedon makes the first breach, and Hector follows by shattering one of the gates with a boulder.
· The Trojans pour through the fortifications as the Achaeans, terrified, shrink back against the ships.
Book 13
· Zeus, happy with the war’s progress, takes his leave of the battlefield.
· Poseidon, eager to help the Achaeans and realizing that Zeus has gone, visits Little Ajax and Great Ajax in the form of Calchas and gives them confidence to resist the Trojan assault. He also rouses the rest of the Achaeans, who have withdrawn in tears to the sides of the ships.
· Their spirits restored, the Achaeans again stand up to the Trojans, and the two Aeantes (the plural of Ajax) prove successful in driving Hector back.
· When Hector throws his lance at Teucer, Teucer dodges out of the way, and the weapon pierces and kills Poseidon’s grandson Amphimachus.
· Asan act of vengeance, Poseidon imbues Idomeneus with a raging power. Idomeneus then joins Meriones in leading a charge against the Trojans at the Achaeans’ left wing. Idomeneus cuts down a number of Trojan soldiers but hopes most of all to kill the warrior Deiphobus. Finding him on the battlefield, he taunts the Trojan, who summons Aeneas and other comrades to his assistance. In the long skirmish that ensues, Deiphobus is wounded, and Menelaus cuts down several Trojans.
· Meanwhile, on the right, Hector continues his assault, but the Trojans who accompany him, having been mercilessly battered by the two Aeantes, have lost their vigor. Some have returned to the Trojan side of the fortifications, while those whore main fight from scattered positions.
· Polydamas persuades Hector to regroup his forces.
· Hector fetches Paris and tries to gather his comrades from the left end of the line—only to find them all wounded or dead. Great Ajax insults Hector, and an eagle appears on Ajax’s right, a favorable omen for the Achaeans.
Book14
· Nestor leaves the wounded Machaon in his tent and goes to meet the other wounded Achaean commanders out by the ships. The men scan the battlefield and realize the terrible extent of their losses.
· Agamemnon proposes giving up and setting sail for home. Odysseus wheels on him and declares this notion cowardly and disgraceful.
o Odysseus calls him a disaster
· Diomede surges them all to the line to rally their troops.
· As they set out, Poseidon encourages Agamemnon and gives added strength to the Achaean army.
· Hera spots Zeus on Mount Ida, overlooking Troy, and devises a plan to distract him so that she may help the Achaeans behind his back. She visits Aphrodite and tricks her into giving her an enchanted breastband into which the powers of Love and Longing are woven, forceful enough to make the sanest man go mad.
· She then visits the embodiment of Sleep, and by promising him one of her daughters in marriage, persuades him to lull Zeus to sleep. Sleep follows her to the peak of Mount Ida; disguised as a bird, he hides in a tree.
o Sleep wants Pasithea
· Zeus sees Hera, and the enchanted band seizes him with passion. He makes love to Hera and, as planned, soon falls asleep.

o Zeus lists all the women he’d slept with but says he wants her even more

· Poseidonregroups them, and they charge the Trojans.
· Inthe ensuing scuffle, Great Ajax knocks Hector to the ground with a boulder, andthe Trojans must carry the hero back to Troy.

o “Kneesof every Trojan shook with fear”
· Zeuswakes up and tells Hera she created a disaster
o “Uncontrollable Hera—you and your treachery”
o He threatens to hit her with anvils and torture her
· Herais like nooo wasn’t me
o “Earth,be my witness”
· analysis: the scene does provide some comic relief. Once again, it is striking how issues oflife and death in the mortal world are so often determined by petty feuds in the godly realms. The decisive turn in the battle results from Zeus’s libido and Aphrodite’s gullibility, as well as Hera’s indignant mischievousness.
