Iliad 13

Poseidon should be called the "god of metal". He's awesome in this chapter, rousing the Achaens to battle. He's sick of Zeus's inactivity in watching the men get slaughtered. It was interesting, when the Ajax's form up a fighting column, they use the best armour they can find. Though they strip armor off of fallen enemies for pride, they also do it for more practical reasons. When Idomeneus took down Othryoneus, he seemed particularly taunting and bloodthirsty. The war seems to be getting more personal. Menelaus criticizes the Trojans for being too warlike.
