More battles:

So, we talked about how Homer focuses on individuals within the battle in order to draw out qualities of heroism, while at the same time, relating both the progress of the battle and the participation of the gods. This is an intentional choice of perspective that helps to make the story more fascinating and relatable to his readers.

So, we're going to keep reading more of these accounts over the weekend! Start with Chapter 8, "Of Glaucus and Diomed," and read down to (but not including), Chapter 11, "The Battle on the Plain."
