The Iliad, Book 19

Armor delivered, Thetis agrees to protect Patroklos to the end of battle.  Apologies between Achilleus and Agamemnon, who blames Zeus, Destiny, and Delusion for the strife all have caused.  Odysseus calls for a feast before the final push for battle-- Achilleus won't partake.  Agamemnon delivers promised bounty, including Briseis, who mourns over Patroklos.  Athene sent by Zeus, now on Greeks' side, to strengthen Achilleus, who armors himself, though in sorrow over his fate.  Asks horses to be better protection for him than they were for Patroklos.  "Fuck off," says Xanthos the horse.  Really.
