Books 13-15


So Zeus is totally stoked at the way his little war among the mortals is going. Personally I think it’s a huge bore…YAWN. Apparently after the big Z took off today, Poseidon went and visited the Aiases, both of them! Talk about plotting against your fam when their back is turned. I know they aren’t huge fans of each other but seriously! I mean they are brothers. Anyway, Poseidon gives a big ego boost to the boys so they can get psyched about going against the Trojans, actually he lights a fire under all the Achaeans butts. The Aias boys actually got so pumped up the sent Hector running for the hills! The real bummer is that Hector got so miffed about being a wuss that he chucked his lance thingie at someone or other, the target dude dodges, and the lance thingie actually nails and kills Poseidon’s grandspawn Amphimachus. Obviously this ticks of uncle P to no end and he works his magic and gives some totally bad ass super powers to Idomeneus and a bunch of them start raging after the Trojans. Honestly cold this battle nonsense get any more tiring?! For some reason Idomeneus decides to put a hit on Deiphobus and calls him out for a one on one, there’s a ton more fighting, Deiphobus gets hurt and a bunch of the Trojans take a trip to the underworld…definitely not how they wanted to end their day. Hector keeps on raging against the other guys but the rest of the Trojans are start to get sick of this…kinda like I am. What happened to the love, seriously. Any way most of the Trojan boys scamper back to their forts because they are tired. Just when I think they are done for the day some jerk named Polydamas gets Hector to rally his troops and start again…sheesh. Hector runs and grabs Paris, I’ve got that boy wrapped around my little finger let me tell you, and then finds out that everyone is wounded or dead. Maybe if you boys would stop your war games we wouldn’t have this problem. Any way dudes start calling each other names and Big Aias sees an eagle appear to him and takes it as some great omen…dude sometimes a bird is just a bird. I will never understand humans.

Yet another day of war and little boys playing with sharp sticks. Only difference is that Hera, that evil, vindictive, (explicative deleted) decided to get her sneaky little fingers involved. Let me tell you how it all went down. Nestor and the Achaean commandos are finally realizing the massive damage done to their little army. Agamemnon suggest they throw in the towel and head home, smart idea to me, and the rest of the testosterone ridden boys gang up on him and call him a scardy cat. Odysseus and Diomedes get everyone together and Poseidon gives some more magical strength to the army. While all this is happening Hera starts her scheming. She found out Zeus was hanging out on Mount Ida the alone time thing he does. First that tramp cons me out of my magical love inducing bra, and then she cons Sleep to turn Zeus narcoleptic by saying she will give him one of her daughters. I didn’t think selling offspring into marriage was legal anymore. Ewww. Any way Zeus sees her in the magic panties, gets all hot and bothered, Sleep pretends to be a bird and knocks him out. Low and behold nothing to manage the Trojans anymore. She lets Poseidon know what she did so that he can help out his boys the Achaeans. There is some drama with Big Aias throwing a huge rock at Hector and that knocks him out. Let me end this here for you…Achaeans win, Trojans loose and run home to mommy.
Guess who finally woke up from his magic underwear coma? Zeus is pissed at Hera, and get this she actually tried to throw Poseidon under the bus for the whole thing! Any way Zeus let her know in no uncertain terms that he doesn’t care who wins, he’s just helping ‘cuse he gets a kick out of it. Apparently it’s totes fated that Troy is gonna fall and Hector is gonna die, talk about spoilers. Any way he made Hera send Iris to kick Poseidon off the battlefield and then sends Apollo to Hector and his boys to give them some motivation and strength. I’m thinking it was more than just a few bottles of Gatoraid. Hector then goes full on Hulk and charges the Achaeans, who fight super hard at first but then run away like mice when Apollo joins the fight. Apollo helps the Trojans beat down the ramparts, is that cheating? So the fighting gets really bad and Big Aias and Hector go at it like cats again. Teucher is about to shish-ka-bob Hector with an arrow when Zeus decides to snap his bowstring, because Hector isn’t supposed to die yet apparently. I will never understand why we meddle with them, I say just let them fight each other and watch it from the safety of Mount Olympus.
