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.
