"We tend to scoff at the beliefs of the ancients. But we can't scoff at them personally, to their faces, and this is what annoys me." - Jack Handey

The Iliad, Book 20
Battle at hand, Zeus allows gods to pick sides. Greeks: Hera, Athene, Poseidon. Trojans: Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite. Gods and mortals fight. Achilleus eyes Hektor, Apollo presses Aineias to confront Achilleus instead. Gods retreat. Yo' momma jokes. Blows exchanged. Apollo comes to rescue Aineias-- not his time yet. Hektor eyes Achilleus; Apollo says not yet. Achilleus kills a bunch. Hektor makes his move-- blows exchanged, but Athene protects Achilleus and Apollo really protects Hektor. No final confrontation yet. Achilleus kills a bunch more.
