I'm in the middle of reading the Iliad for the first time, and I just finished book 10. And I'm happy for Ody and Dio's victory of course, but also...
He thought they were going to win.
He thought he could sleep peacefully for one night.
He thought they were safe.
Then a god's voice roused him urgently from sleep. He shot to his feet to find—corpses, a dozen of them. Pools of blood, black in the darkness. And the body of his close friend, slaughtered in his sleep as if by marauding lions.
He screamed.
